Summary:

Addressing displacement in the context of disasters and the adverse effects of climate change has been part of the regional agenda of the South American Conference on Migration (SACM) in recent years.

The Regional Guidelines on the Protection and Assistance of Cross Border Displaced Persons and Migrants in Countries Affected by Disasters aim at improving the institutional capacity of the humanitarian response to disaster displacement challenges. In addition, they seek to create a comprehensive framework of minimum protection standards, based, among other aspects, on managing information and coordination between the affected country (country of
origin) and the host country (receiving country), and the harmonization of humanitarian response and assistance among SACM member countries.
