As countries gain a greater understanding of the underlying drivers of displacement, as well as the corrosive effect it has on development outcomes, re-framing internal displacement as a development issue is critical to advancing prevention and solutions.
To implement this new approach, greater volumes of development financing are required. In the absence of dedicated instruments or resources from multilateral development banks or the global climate funds to respond to internal displacement, utilizing existing sources of development finance, including climate adaptation finance, offers an important stream.
The Center for Global Development invites you to a dialogue to explore how development and climate finance are being utilized, and the challenges and opportunities to scale-up finance. The session focuses on the supply side, offering insights to countries and partners on creating demand for greater and more responsive finance.
