IOM co-leads the AP DDWG with the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), a working group that includes over 50 members – including UN, NGOs, multilaterals, academics and other inter-governmental and coordination entities and networks – from Asia, Pacific and globally. The AP DDWG holds quarterly general meetings, with task teams that bring together development and humanitarian actors with a focus on disaster displacement, to enhance capacity and coordination for risk reduction, mitigation, prevention, resilience and solutions. Active since 2019, the group currently reports to the Issue Based Coalition (IBC) on Building Resilience in the UN regional coordination platform. Since 2019 the group has overseen the release of a study on reducing the risk of protected recurrent displacement, hosted and supported consultations for the High Level Panel on Internal Displacement (HLP-IDP) and the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of IDPs, and is currently working on specific regional initiatives around environmental displacement, COVID and Displacement, and awareness raising and training videos for Addressing Disaster Displacement in Disaster Risk Reduction Policy and Practice: A Checklist. The working group plans to ensure that displacement takes a centre stage in 2022 discussions at the Global Platform on DRR in Bali and the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on DRR in Brisbane.
