2) IDMC
Last month we released our Global Report on Internal Displacement ( http://www.internal-displacement.org/global-report/grid2018/ ) with consistently large numbers of displacements affecting socioeconomic development around the world. Internal displacement is both a driver and an outcome of a steady accumulation of risks, undermining progress on the 2030 Agenda, the Sendai Framework, the Paris Agreement, the Agenda for Humanity, the New Urban Agenda and their related national and regional strategies.
Today we launch a new thematic series ( http://www.internal-displacement.org/publications/the-ripple-effect-economic-impacts-of-internal-displacement ) to measure the effects of internal displacement on the economic potential of IDPs, host communities and societies as a whole. Through “The ripple effect: the economic impact of internal displacement”, we aim to provide comprehensive quantitative assessments to raise awareness on the scale of the phenomenon and inform better policies ( http://www.internal-displacement.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/20180608-idmc-economic-impacts-framework.pdf ).
And because internal displacement, under specific circumstances, can also have positive consequences on the economy, our series include a call for contributions on the positive impact IDPs can have on their host economies ( http://www.internal-displacement.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/20180608-idmc-economic-impacts-call-for-contributions.pdf ).
This ambitious research programme involves partnerships with other institutions and experts from a variety of fields. We invite all those interested to join our efforts. More information on our research agenda and call for papers is available here http://www.internal-displacement.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/20180608-idmc-economic-impacts-intro.pdf
3) Alarm Phone
We have published our latest Alarm Phone report, entitled “Over 2000 Alarm Phone Cases - No Reason for Celebration”. In it we reflect, among others, on the developments in three regions of the Mediterranean Sea, the remarkable rise in crossings to Spain, the escalation around the question of disembarkation in Italy, as well as the ‘Palermo Process’ – the attempt to build new corridors of solidarity so desperately needed in times of the right-wing tide.
The report can be found on our website:

4) SVR Research Unit Policy Brief
The Research Unit of the Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration is today publishing a Policy Brief which analyses the current resettlement system in Germany, Europe and at global level, as well as the development and implementation of alternative admission pathways such as humanitarian programmes and private sponsorship schemes. The Policy Brief, entitled “What Now for Global Refugee Policy? Opportunities and Limits of Resettlement at Global, European and National Levels”, also discusses current questions regarding the principles and direction of future resettlement policy.
The publication is available in English and German, alongside an infographic, for free download: https://www.svr-migration.de/en/publications/resettlement/
