With great sadness we inform you of the passing of our founding coordinator Simon Russell, in the UK on 5 June.    Simon was, quite simply, extraordinary – a leader in humanitarian action & human rights, and a warm and delightful person.   A heart of gold.

At the opening of the second #GlasgowDialogue on #LossAndDamage our message is simple: Internal displacement is without a doubt at the heart of the climate crisis, it is only logical that displaced people become at the heart of climate financing including loss and damages.

Areas ripe for renewed drive: Adapt coord. architecture to better fit the majority of frontline responders; local actors. Area-based. With accountabilities. Without paper mill. Fresh take on resource mobilisation. Not focused on gaps and money only, but on What Works Where.

This sense of permanent transition makes displaced people situation so sinister IDPs should not disappear behind the notion of vulnerability However they should be supported as a specific group to resolve the displacement problem @UNPiper in briefing @UN Member State

The protection clusters in some 35 operations have a 1000 member; over 80% are national and local actors. I encourage all of them to contribute to this important survey, be heard and shape the conclusions.

In #CentralAfricanRepublic hunger and violence are creating a vicious cycle of displacement, abuse, recruitment of children, sexual violence and horrors. Regional governments must put an end to this downfall. Humanitarian access -the lifeline- should be maintained
