10 Years of the Nansen Initiative Protection Agenda (NIPA +10): Reflections from the frontlines of the Envoy of the Chair of the Platform on Disaster Displacement
In October 2015, 109 states endorsed the Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change ('Nansen Agenda'), providing a toolbox of concrete policy options and proposing a series of recommendations for future work.
The agenda was the result of the Nansen Initiative, a state-led process to address the protection needs of people displaced across borders due to disasters and climate change.
The Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) was established in 2016 to carry on the work of the Nansen Initiative and help put its recommendations into practice.
In this podcast, Envoy of the Chair of the Platform on Disaster Displacement, Professor Walter Kälin, who was formerly Envoy of the Nansen Initiative, chats with Professor Jane McAdam AO about the major advances, and enduring challenges, in protection for people displaced in the context of disasters and climate change.

Speed briefing - Ensuring protection in humanitarian emergencies: A framework for Australia
Scientia Professor Jane McAdam AO, explains why Australia needs a new emergency visa to respond to humanitarian crises, which she and her co-author, Dr Regina Jefferies, propose as part of a broader emergency response framework in their new policy brief. Having a framework that could be activated in a crisis would enable a more predictable, streamlined and effective response.
In the context of people fleeing the war in Gaza, and reports that the government is considering creating a new emergency visa, the policy brief has vital importance for individuals, policymakers and advocates across the sector.
Watch to quickly get an understanding of the evidence behind their proposals for a better approach – for all concerned.
The Kaldor Centre’s Evacuations Research Hub is a five-year project established in July, funded by an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship, to analyse why and how evacuations are used; what legal standards govern their conduct; and when and how they come to an end. Scientia Professor of Law and Laureate Fellow Jane McAdam AO is its Director, and Dr Regina Jefferies is a Laureate Postdoctoral Fellow.
