A Toolbox: Planning Relocations to Protect People from Disasters and Environmental Change

This Toolbox seeks to provide concrete suggestions for States and other actors who are contemplating or planning to relocate people in order to protect them from disasters and environmental change. It aims to complement the Guidance for Protecting People from Disasters and Environmental Change through Planned Relocations, which was developed by UNHCR, the Brookings Institution and Georgetown University through a series of multi-stakeholder meetings between 2011 and 2015.
