Fiji: Disaster Displacement Risk Profile

IDMC has used its global internal displacement database to look at future displacement risk associated with sudden-onset hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclonic winds and storm surges. This technical paper represents initial results assessing the risk of disaster displacement in Fiji. 

Disaster displacement is one of the biggest humanitarian and sustainable development challenges the world faces, and climate change and urbanisation are only expected to aggravate the phenomenon. This analysis considered a wide range of possible hazard scenarios, their likelihood and their potential to cause housing damage.
