Getting to 2030: The Future of Internal Displacement and Sustainable Development. JID-IDMC Special Issue January 2019.
 
 
Submission deadline: 8 November, 2018
The internal displacement of millions of people every year is a human tragedy, as well as a political, social and economic challenge for many countries across the globe. It is increasingly recognised that large-scale, protracted internal displacement is often underpinned by problematic development trajectories, and that long-term displacement has a significant, if still unquantified, impact on national and regional economies, stability and security. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development gives express attention to internally displaced persons (IDPs) as a vulnerable group not to be left behind. Moreover, internal displacement cuts across all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), meaning that failing to address the realities of internal displacement risks holding back or even reversing progress on achieving those goals. Yet, while the negative impacts of internal displacement can hamper national progress, the evidence for how this plays out remains fragmented, and systematic studies are scant.
 
This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the UN Guiding Principles on internal Displacement. The Journal of Internal Displacement (JID), working in collaboration with the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), invites contributions that explore how internal displacement concerns fit into national and global sustainable development efforts and the UN prevention agenda. See the Call for Papers for further details.
