IDMC’s Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID) is the authoritative source for data and analysis on the state of internal displacement for the previous year. Each year, IDMC presents the validated estimates of internal displacements by conflict and disasters, and the total number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) worldwide. During the event, IDMC highlighted key findings from the analysis and we explored actions to address internal displacement with esteemed speakers representing governments, international organisations, and civil society.
