Inaugural Meeting Presentation - WG on AA for Displacement

The inaugural meeting of the Global Working Group on Anticipatory Action (AA) for Displacement marked a collaborative step toward transforming how the international community prepares for and responds proactively to the growing risk of forced displacement in partnership. Convened by IOM and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and hosted by the Anticaption Hub, the gathering brought together more than one hundred representatives from UN agencies, NGOs, governments, academic institutions, and independent technical experts. These diverse stakeholders united around a shared ambition: to shift displacement risk management from a reactive to a proactive model by embedding forecast-based, locally grounded approaches into humanitarian and development systems.
