2020 Summary Report of the Task Force on Displacement

Background

The Conference of the Parties (COP), at its 21st session in Paris, established the Task Force on Displacement to develop recommendations for integrated approaches to avert, minimize and address displacement related to the adverse impacts of climate change. (Decision 1/CP.21)

Strategic workstream (d) of the five-year workplan of the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM Excom) is to enhance enhanced cooperation and facilitation in relation to human mobility, including migration, displacement and planned relocation.

Since April 2019, the Task Force on Displacement began its second phase of implementation with the new terms of reference. The Task Force on Displacement’s second Plan of Action (2019 – 2021), building upon the activities under strategic workstream (d) of the WIM Excom as well as the recommendations arising from the outcomes of its first phase of implementation, was subsequently approved by the WIM Excom in October 2019.

Outputs from the implementation of the first phase workplan, and summary of the activities and expected results of the second phase Plan of Action are available here.
