Report. World Report 2020 World Report 2020. Human Rights Watch 2020. https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2020. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11423 This annual report, published by Human Rights Watch (HRW), summarizes data about global human rights practices from more than 100 countries and territories worldwide. This year’s report, focusing on events from late 2018 through November 2019, includes a keynote essay by HRW executive director Kenneth Roth, “China’s Global Threat to Human Rights,” in which he examines the deepening threat that the Chinese government poses to human rights. Roth believes that the government of China, and President Xi Jinping, view human rights at home as a threat – and this can be seen in their investment in surveillance infrastructure, as well as their censorship policies. The report goes on to contain country-specific chapters that identify significant human rights abuses across the globe, examines the freedom of local human rights defenders to conduct their work, and surveys the response of key international actors. Human Rights Watch is a nongovernmental organization dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world to prevent discrimination, to uphold political freedom, to protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring offenders to justice

Report. Global Humanitarian Overview 2020 Global Humanitarian Overview 2020. United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs 2019. https://www.unocha.org/sites/unocha/files/GHO-2020_v9.1.pdf. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12842 This report from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) assesses how many people worldwide require humanitarian assistance, the drivers of these fragile contexts, and the approaches for effectively identifying and responding to humanitarian needs. Humanitarian needs are rising despite economic and developmental progress. In 2020, an estimated 167.6 million people will need humanitarian assistance, requiring $28.8 billion in funding. Driving these humanitarian crises are disasters and conflicts which displace millions of people around the world. Climate change is further increasing people’s vulnerability to humanitarian crises with infectious diseases becoming more prevalent and global warming impacting agriculture. In order to better respond to these disasters and conflicts, humanitarian organizations have begun adopting anticipatory financing – essentially estimating the impact of crises and rapidly injecting funds to where they are needed most. The report recommends further work in anticipatory financing, strengthening collaboration with other humanitarian organizations, and reiterates UNOCHA’s commitment to end any and all sexual exploitation and abuse by humanitarian staff.

Report. World Migration Report 2020 World Migration Report 2020. International Organization for Migration 2019. https://publications.iom.int/books/world-migration-report-2020. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12076 This report from the International Organization for Migration provides a detailed account of migration trends and related issues worldwide. Since the World Migration Report 2018 was published two years ago, dramatic changes have occurred surrounding migration policy with the finalizing of two global compacts: the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration, and the Global Compact on Refugees. Despite these monumental accomplishments, there continues to be major migration crises around the world due to conflict, climate change, or other factors. The current number of international migrants is thought to be nearly 272 million globally, with around two thirds of this number being labor-related migrants. This report also encourages readers to rethink migration and migrants. The increasing complexity surrounding migration, according to the authors, is due in part to the every-growing amount of information available on who migrates, why people migrate, and where and how they migrate. The World Migration Report 2020 also includes videos from key contributors and the director general, as well as InfoSheets on a variety of migration related information.

Report. Global Trends: Forced Displacement in 2018 Global Trends: Forced Displacement in 2018. Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2019. https://www.unhcr.org/globaltrends2018. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10946 This annual report, published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), focuses on the global crisis of displacement due to conflict. By the end of 2018, 70.8 million individuals were forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations. This marks an increase of 2.3 million people over 2017, with marked increases in internal displacement in Ethiopia and Venezuela, as well as continuing displacement due to conflicts in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, and Bangladesh. The world’s forcibly displaced population remains at a record high. The report offers demographic information about the global refugee population as well as internally displaced persons (IDPs), asylum seekers, stateless persons, and other groups or persons of concern, comparing 2018 with data from previous years. It includes focused chapters on protracted refugee situations, unaccompanied and separated children, and urban refugees, as well as a case study on the crisis in Venezuela and numerous figures, graphics, and maps; it is accompanied by detailed statistical tables that are available to download.

Report. Global Report on Internal Displacement 2019 Global Report on Internal Displacement 2019. Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre 2019. http://www.internal-displacement.org/global-report/grid2019. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12489 This annual report from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre examines the state of internally displaced peoples (IDPs) worldwide. It features displacement spotlights and up-to-date global and regional displacement figures, noting that in 2018 there were 28 million new displacements associated with conflict and disasters across 143 countries and territories, with a total of 41.3 million people living in internal displacement as a result—the highest number ever recorded. This year’s publication focuses on urban internal displacement and presents new evidence on the humanitarian and development challenges presented by displacement to, between, and within cities and towns. It also describes the steps needed to better support IDPs in urban settings and reduce and prevent displacement, including filling data gaps and building an improved evidence base, reframing the narrative around internal displacement, accepting local integration as a displacement solution, building both leadership and infrastructure, and more. The report is accompanied by a dynamic web version with interactive maps and data figures, an overview publication, background papers, and a media pack that includes press releases, downloadable companion materials, biographies, photos, and videos.

Report. The UCL-Lancet Commission on Migration and Health: The Health of a World on the Move Abubakar I et al. The UCL-Lancet Commission on Migration and Health: The Health of a World on the Move. The Lancet 2018; 392(10164): 2606-2654. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)32114-7. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12820 This UCL-Lancet Commission report shares evidence-based approaches to inform public discourse and policy on migration, a process touching more than one billion lives in 2018 and deeply rooted in structural and political factors. Current polarizing discourse condemning migration has created far-reaching misunderstandings and misconceptions around migrants—people who often uphold economies, bolster social services, and contribute to health services in both origin and destination locations. The report is driven by five goals: providing the latest evidence on migration and health outcomes; examining multisector determinants of health; critically reviewing key challenges to health migration; examining equity in access to health and health services; and outlining how evidence can contribute to collaborative and equitable policies, and feasible strategies to inform and inspire action.

The report finds that with sufficient political will, the international community, states, and local providers have the knowledge and resources necessary to ensure that individuals most vulnerable to harm are not marginalized, however, attitudes, misperceptions, and cynical political motivations can hinder rights-based approaches to health for migrants, as they are seeking safety and economic security for themselves and their family. Additionally, the report finds that migrants are, on average, healthier, better educated, and employed at higher rates than individuals in destination locations—thereby dispelling unfounded myths around immigrants—but being subjected to discrimination and

restrictions puts them at risk of ill health. Migration is an issue which urgently needs attention, as how the world addresses human mobility will determine public health and social cohesion for decades to come.

The report is accompanied by supplemental resources such as a policy brief with key recommendations on ways to improve the public health response to migration, comments, additional articles, and a video from the chair of The UCL-Lancet Commission on Migration and Health and the Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet.

Report. The State of Environmental Migration 2018 – A Review of 2017 Zickgraf C et al., eds. The State of Environmental Migration 2018 – A review of 2017. The Hugo Observatory of the University of Liège 2018. http://labos.ulg.ac.be/hugo/state-environmental-migration. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12085 This report, presented by The Hugo Observatory of the University of Liège, assesses the changing dynamics of environment- and climate-related migration throughout four regions: Africa, Americas and The Caribbean, Asia, and Europe. The report enhances understanding of natural disasters in 2017—sudden as well as slow natural onset events— and their links with human mobility, examining specific case-examples of these linkages around the world. The report also highlights key policy initiatives and programs designed to address these intersections of climate change and human mobility across the globe.

Report. Migration in the 2030 Agenda Aggave G, Sinha N. Migration in the 2030 Agenda. International Organization for Migration 2017. http://publications.iom.int/books/migration-2030-agenda. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12015 This report from the International Organization of Migration (IOM) describes the importance of migration in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, which was adopted by the international community in 2015 and established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address global challenges through economic, social, and environmental progress. The 2030 Agenda marks the first time migration was included in mainstream global development policy, formally recognizing the positive contributions of migrants in global development and acknowledging migrant resilience in the face of climate change and other drivers of displacement. This report defines and identifies migration, highlights its multidimensional aspects as they relate to the SDGs, and examines the challenges and opportunities associated with targets and commitments established for 2030. The connections between migration and specific global challenges and issues (including the environment and climate change, cities and labor, health and education, and women and children) are explored, with special focus on global goals to abolish trafficking, reduce gender inequalities, and prevent and resolve population displacement.

Country Profiles. International Migrant Stock 2019: Country Profiles International Migrant Stock 2019: Country Profiles. United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2019. https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/data/estimates2/countryprofiles.asp. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/13086 These country profiles from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) provide the most recent data on the state of migration for a specific country. As of 2019, the number of international migrants has increased from 221 million in 2010, to 272 million in 2019. Many of these migrants are refugees and asylum seekers, as the number of forced migrants has increased by nearly 13 million between 2010 and 2017. Forced migration increased at an average annual rate of eight percent while other migrants, such as those who migrate by choice for employment, have increased at an annual rate of two percent. These statistics indicate that many more migrants are forced from their homes, due to conflict or natural disasters, than those who choose to immigrate. UNDESA also outlined how the share of international migrants is changing. While just over half of all international migrants reside in Northern America or Europe, the share of migrants is actually decreasing in these areas. These country profiles are also accompanied by a fact sheet outlining overall trends, as well as ten key messages from the International Migrant Stock 2019 database.

Article. Global Patterns of Mortality in International Migrants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Aldridge R et al. Global Patterns of Mortality in International Migrants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. The Lancet 2018; 392(10164): 2553-2566. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)32781-8. This article in The Lancet synthesizes available mortality data on international migrants. Review and analysis of the existing literature indicates that the mortality of migrants was lower than the general population in high-income destination countries. However, this may not be generalizable to marginalized migrants—especially forced migrants—and to migrants in low-income and middle-income countries. International migrants had increased mortality due to infectious disease and external causes of death (e.g., assault, events of undetermined intent).

Report. Global Education Monitoring Report 2019 – Migration, Displacement and Education: Building Bridges, Not Walls Global Education Monitoring Report 2019 – Migration, Displacement and Education: Building Bridges, Not Walls. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization 2018. https://en.unesco.org/gem-report/report/2019/migration. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12791 The 2019 Global Education Monitoring Report, published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), assesses global progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal on education (SDG4) and its 10 targets, which address primary and secondary education, early childhood, technical and adult education, work skills, equity, literacy and numeracy, global citizenship, learning environments, scholarships, and teachers. The 2019 report specifically examines how migration and displacement interact with education, how immigrants and refugees are included in national education systems, major barriers towards education access, and how education improvements help migrants and refugees tap into their potential. Despite increasing inclusion in national education systems, immigrant youth still lack access to education that is both supportive and high quality.

The report’s case studies illuminate innovative efforts already in motion across the world to address these challenges, which could be scaled up and modified to suit different global contexts. The authors call for investment in quality education in rural areas suffering from depopulation and in urban slums facing large population inflow, in countries of high rates of emigration and/or immigration, and in areas facing refugee emergencies and crises. UNESCO recommends that national governments protect migrants’ and displaced people’s right to education; include them in the national education system while understanding and planning for their needs; prepare their teachers to address diversity and hardship; accurately represent migrants’ and displaced people’s histories within education to challenge prejudices and stereotypes and foster inclusivity; and harness their potential to improve economies and societies.

The report also includes statistical tables, organized by each of the seven SDG 4 targets and three means of implementing the targets (education facilities and learning environments, scholarships, and teachers). Other resources accompanying this report include a set of infographics and figures, an executive summary, a youth report summarizing the major takeaways for children, a video, background papers , presentation slides, as well as an interactive data portal with downloadables, graphics, and more.

Report. Moving for Prosperity: Global Migration and Labor Markets Moving for Prosperity: Global Migration and Labor Markets. The World Bank Group 2018. https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/29806. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12515 This report from the World Bank addresses the disconnect between the evidence-based conclusion that immigration is good for social and economic prosperity—for immigrants, their families at home, and the countries that welcome them—and the widespread opposition to immigration in destination countries, which is often rooted in the unfounded notion that migrants are the primary cause of economic difficulties like unemployment and declining social services. The report provides comprehensive data and empirical analysis of migration patterns and their impact, and articulates how income gaps, demographic differences, and declining transportation costs contribute to increasing global mobility. Its authors argue for immigration policies that work with, rather than against, labor market forces and note that easing immigration restrictions is one of the most effective tools for ending poverty and sharing prosperity across the world.

Report. Migration and Its Impact on Cities Migration and Its Impact on Cities. World Economic Forum 2017. https://www.weforum.org/reports/migration-and-its-impact-on-cities. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12121 This report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) explores the influence of migration on cities, examining the types, causes, and patterns of migration; identifying the most affected migration “corridors” and cities; evaluating its impact on infrastructure and services; and providing recommendations for how cities can address the growing challenges associated with migration. It breaks down the economic, social, and political impact of migration in 22 of the most affected cities across the world, and explores the impact on housing, education, employment, health, transportation, utilities, sanitation, social cohesion, and security. The report suggests that migration should be seen as an opportunity for cities, and describes a sustainable framework that can help cities meet the needs of their growing migrant populations.

Article. The Health Impacts of Climate-Related Migration Schwerdtle P, Bowen K, McMichael C. The Health Impacts of Climate-Related Migration. BMC Medicine 2017: 16(1). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-017-0981-7. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12086 This article explores the link between climate change, health, and migration, specifically opportunities to respond to both migration and health risks across diverse contexts. The paper uses case examples from Papua New Guinea, Alaska, South Sudan, northern Australia, and Colombia and Spain to illustrate how this thematic intersection can manifest in different ways—planned relocation, immobility and climate adaptation, forced displacement and planned return, rural-urban migration, and temporary and circular mobility.

Report. Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2019 Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2019. Development Initiatives 2019. http://devinit.org/post/global-humanitarian-assistance-report-2019. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12554 This annual report published by Development Initiatives explores the global humanitarian financing landscape, identifying where resources are required, where they come from, and where they are finally allocated. The report estimates that in 2018, 206.4 million people needed humanitarian assistance—40 percent of whom were in just six countries. There has been sustained growth in international humanitarian assistance from governments and private donors since 2014, reaching US $28.9 billion in 2018. However, a limited proportion of total humanitarian assistance is channeled directly to local and national actors, thereby hindering responsive and effective assistance to people in need. By understanding effective means for transferring funds and wider crisis financing, multilateral institutions, private and public donors, NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders can address humanitarian crises more appropriately. Supplementary resources include data downloads, summarizing key data captured in the report, as well as a webinar of finance experts discussing current and emerging trends.

Article. Pathogens, Prejudice, and Politics: The Role of the Global Health Community in the European Refugee Crisis Khan M et al. Pathogens, Prejudice, and Politics: The Role of the Global Health Community in the European Refugee Crisis. The Lancet Infectious Disease 2018; 16(8): 173-177. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(16)30134-7. This article in The Lancet Infectious Disease discusses how the global health community can address infectious disease risks and health inequalities, focusing specifically on the refugee crisis in Europe. Though the perception is scientifically unfounded, many people believe that migrants and refugees carry more infectious disease. As such, the authors of the article recommend the following: 1) base policy decisions on public health evidence rather than prejudices; 2) develop affordable health services for incoming refugees; and 3) acknowledge that widening socioeconomic gaps between high- and low-income countries have also driven the global refugee crisis.

Report. Peoples Under Threat 2018 Peoples Under Threat 2018. Minority Rights Group International 2018. http://minorityrights.org/publications/peoplesunderthreat2018. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12505 This report by the Minority Rights Group International (MRG) presents the most current data on crises across the world where populations face the greatest threats of mass killing, genocide, or systematic violent repression. It highlights more than 20 situations with pressing risks and which are expected to account for the majority of civilians who are affected by mass killings in the coming year. The report notes that mass killings and egregious human rights violations continue to threaten civilian populations, especially minority groups and indigenous peoples, and are increasingly carried out by non-state armed groups. It also flags the creeping rise of authoritarianism as a risk to populations.

The report is accompanied by a data interactive that maps the global prevalence of genocide from 2011 to 2018; users can access data via a global map or interactive table. Detailed profile pages offer country-specific information, including current and historical rankings, specific at-risk populations, contextual background, and related news and resources from MRG.

Report. Report on the Health of Refugees and Migrants in the WHO European Region: No Public Health Without Refugee and Migrant Health Report on the Health of Refugees and Migrants in the WHO European Region: No Public Health Without Refugee and Migrant Health. World Health Organization 2018. http://www.euro.who.int/en/publications/abstracts/report-on-the-health-of-refugees-and-migrants-in-the-who-european-region-no-public-health-without-refugee-and-migrant-health-2018. This report from the World Health Organization describes the causes, consequences, and responses to the health needs and challenges of refugees and migrants in the European region—a region where almost one in 10 people is currently an international migrant. The report underscores that there is a very low risk of refugees and migrants transmitting communicable diseases, and highlight the need to focus on the occupational health and maternal health needs of these populations. The report also identifies gaps in current efforts to provide quality care to refugees and migrants, particularly emphasizing the need for better data collection.

Report. Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Climate Change Rigaud KK et al. Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Climate Change. The World Bank Group 2018. https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/29461. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12512 This report from the World Bank Group focuses on three regions—Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America—where climate change will forcibly displace tens of millions of people in the next 30 years. If significant changes are not made, nearly 3 percent of the population in these regions will be forced to move within their own countries to avoid the effects of climate change, migrating away from areas affected by rising sea levels and storm surges, degraded farming productivity, and reduced availability of fresh water. The report examines the current and expected trends of migration and climate change, describes projections for climate migration in the regions and sub-regions addressed, highlights country-specific findings from each region, and offers a call to action in three key areas: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, embedding climate migration in development planning, and investing in improved understanding of internal climate migration. It is accompanied by an executive summary and brief policy notes on each region.

Report. Beyond the Barriers: Framing Evidence on Health System Strengthening to Improve the Health of Migrants Experiencing Poverty and Social Exclusion Beyond the Barriers: Framing Evidence on Health System Strengthening to Improve the Health of Migrants Experiencing Poverty and Social Exclusion. World Health Organization 2017. http://www.who.int/gender-equity-rights/knowledge/beyond-barriers/en. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12000 This World Health Organization (WHO) report focuses on international migrants and the ways in which health systems are attempting to provide effective coverage, in particular those experiencing poverty and social exclusion. The report contributes to the evidence base needed for making progress on the sustainable development goal (SDG) for universal health coverage. Chapters provide information on barriers to health services faced by migrants, and highlight which barriers are shared by other vulnerable subpopulations, provide a framework for addressing these barriers through health systems strengthening for universal health coverage, and highlight areas where more research is needed.

The analysis relies on research on equity, gender and human rights, including health systems strengthening for universal health coverage, and research on migration and health. By adopting this dual perspective, it illuminates the need to synergistically address barriers that are specific to migration processes and those that are faced by social inequities across multiple subpopulations in a country (e.g. those with lower income levels, lower education levels, suboptimal employment conditions, language barriers or discrimination on different grounds). Learn more about WHO's work on migrants and health inequities.

Report. UNHCR and Climate Change, Disasters, and Displacement Goodwin-Gill GS, McAdam J. UNHCR and Climate Change, Disasters, and Displacement. Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2017. http://www.refworld.org/topic,50ffbce4132,50ffbce413e,59413c7115,0,,,.html. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12089 This report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) shares recommendations on its future institutional strategy on displacement in the context of disasters and climate change. The report examines the organization’s historical involvement addressing disaster displacement and interrogates questions about how climate change response fits into UNHCR’s primary responsibility to seek solutions for forcibly displaced individuals. The report outlines specific ways UNHCR can interact with the increasingly complex intersection of climate change, displacement, and security.

Brief. The Climate Change-Human Trafficking Nexus The Climate Change-Human Trafficking Nexus. International Organization for Migration 2017. http://publications.iom.int/books/climate-change-human-trafficking-nexus. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12094 This brief from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) looks at examples and evidence from the Asia-Pacific region to elucidate the state of human trafficking and how it relates to climate-related events. It distinguishes between sudden-onset disasters (cyclones, typhoons, tsunamis) and slow-onset events (droughts, floods, soil erosion), all of which create economic, social, and health instability. This instability is regularly capitalized upon by criminal networks of traffickers, who take advantage of newly vulnerable populations. The brief also proposes interventions to counter these trends, including capacity building of governmental and non-governmental organizations, registering and tracking displaced populations, and training law enforcement or military personnel in counter-trafficking measures.

Report. No Escape From Discrimination: Minorities, Indigenous Peoples and the Crisis of Displacement No Escape From Discrimination: Minorities, Indigenous Peoples and the Crisis of Displacement. Minority Rights Group International 2017. http://minorityrights.org/publications/no-escape-discrimination-minorities-indigenous-peoples-crisis-displacement. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12510 This report from the Minority Rights Group focuses on the experiences of minorities and indigenous peoples who have undergone forced migration, often due to violence, persecution and discrimination, and other human rights abuses. It examines the causes, impacts, and potential solutions of such migration, with an emphasis on four key drivers: climate, conflict, nationalism, and land rights. The authors call for a number of positive steps to protect vulnerable populations

and provide the means for safe return or resettlement, while also acknowledging that forced displacement is often the final step in a protracted process of exclusion and discrimination. As such, the report notes that strengthening human rights protections for all is the most important and sustainable, long-term solution to this global crisis.

Article. Human Trafficking and Exploitation: A Global Health Concern Zimmerman C, Kiss L. Human Trafficking and Exploitation: A Global Health Concern. PLOS Medicine 2017; 14(11): e1002437. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002437. This article in PLOS Medicine describes the health impacts of human trafficking and shares a public health policy framework for addressing this problem. The authors argue that trafficking—and the associated labor exploitation—is sufficiently prevalent to be considered a public health problem. Exploitation are typically sustained by business models that rely on disposable labor and supply chains, which are only reinforced by weakening labor governance and protections. Public health approaches can be leveraged to address the underlying determinants of exploitation at each stage of the labor migration cycle before harm occurs at the individual and generational level.

Article. Excess Mortality in Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons and Resident Populations in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies Heudtlass P. Excess Mortality in Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons and Resident Populations in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (1998-2012)—Insights From Operational Data. Conflict and Health 2016; 10(15). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13031-016-0082-9. This article in Conflict and Health quantifies deaths in humanitarian emergencies from 1998 to 2012, disaggregated by displacement status (e.g., refugee, internally displaced, non-displaced). The analysis shows highest excess mortality rates among internally displaced populations, followed by resident populations—though in absolute numbers, resident populations account for most of the excess deaths in emergencies.

CHILDREN ON THE MOVE

Article. Health Impacts of Parental Migration on Left-Behind Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Fellmeth G et al. Health Impacts of Parental Migration on Left-Behind Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. The Lancet 2018; 392(10164): 2567-2582. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)32558-3. This article in The Lancet reviews the health impacts on children and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries who are left behind when parents migrate. The systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that children and adolescents who are left behind had increased risks of depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety when compared to children of non-migrants. There were also small increases in the risks for wasting, stunting, and substance use. The findings indicate greater attention must be paid to the unmet health needs of left-behind children and adolescents—and further examination of risk and resilience factors within this population.

Report. A Child is a Child: Protecting Children on the Move from Violence, Abuse and Exploitation A Child is a Child: Protecting Children on the Move from Violence, Abuse and Exploitation. United Nations Children's Fund 2017. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_95956.html. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11541 This report from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) focuses on the dangers faced by displaced and refugee children and adolescents, millions of whom are on the move across international borders fleeing violence and conflict, disaster or poverty, or in pursuit of a better life. With few safe and legal routes to take on their journeys, unaccompanied children fall prey to smugglers and other illegitimate means of transport, which increases their risks of violence, abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. Despite protections in place through the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international treaties, displaced children are often trapped in bureaucratic limbo as receiving nations become overwhelmed by the influx of refugees and asylum-seekers. This report outlines policies and recommends strategies to ensure the protection of these vulnerable children.

Report. Beyond Borders: How to Make the Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees Work for Uprooted Children Beyond Borders: How to Make the Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees Work for Uprooted Children. United Nations Children’s Fund 2017. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_101735.html. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12766 This report published by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) highlights initiatives that are underway that protect and support the human rights of refugee, migrant, and displaced children, regardless of status. The report presents case studies from 11 different countries and regions that demonstrate how the Agenda for Action—a six-point framework putting children at the heart of the global compacts for refugees and migration—can be replicated and put into practice. The agenda consist of ideals such as: protecting child refugees and migrants from exploitation and violence; ending the detention of children seeking refugee status or migrating; keeping families together and giving children legal status; keeping all refugee and migrant children learning and giving them access to health and other quality services; pressing for action on the underlying causes of large-scale movements of refugees and migrants; and promoting measures to combat xenophobia, discrimination, and marginalization of this population. Emphasized in this publication is the need for governments, host communities, volunteers, and international and local partners to undertake collaborative action to promote a more welcoming and inclusive global community, especially for refugee, migrant, and displaced children.

Report. Emergency Within an Emergency: The Growing Epidemic of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Migrant Children in Greece Emergency Within an Emergency: The Growing Epidemic of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Migrant Children in Greece. FXB Center for Health & Human Rights at Harvard University 2017. https://fxb.harvard.edu/new-report-emergency-within-an-emergency-exploitation-of-migrant-children-in-greece. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11540 This report from the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights explores the current dangers facing migrant and displaced children in Greece. It identifies patterns of abuse and exploitation among children as young as 11, exacerbated by the absence of any sort of child protection system. The report examines factors and circumstances that place children at risk for exposure to long term sexual exploitation. The report contains testimonies by such children, as well as detailed recommendations for policies and reforms to address these issues.

Report. Harrowing Journeys: Children and Youth on the Move Across the Mediterranean Sea, At Risk of Trafficking and Exploitation Harrowing Journeys: Children and Youth on the Move Across the Mediterranean Sea, At Risk of Trafficking and Exploitation. United Nations Children’s Fund, International Organization for Migration 2017. https://data.unicef.org/resources/harrowing-journeys. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11686 This report from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) analyzes data from migrant and refugee routes from Africa and Asia to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea, examining the journeys of 11,000 young refugees between the ages of 14 and 24. Because legal forms of passage are becoming increasingly harder to secure, many migrant youth are forced to rely on smugglers, making them targets for abuse, trafficking, and exploitation, as well as xenophobia and racism. The report outlines the data and dangers along migrant routes, and offers potential interventions to aid young refugees.

Report. No Place to Call Home: Protecting Children’s Rights When Changing Climate Forces Them to Flee No Place to Call Home: Protecting Children’s Rights When Changing Climate Forces Them to Flee. United Nations Children’s Fund UK 2017. https://www.unicef.org.uk/publications/no-place-to-call-home. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12090 This report from the United Nations Children’s Fund UK (UNICEF UK) illustrates the aftermath and impact on children’s rights, when children are forced to flee home due to climate change. With 1 in 45 children on the move worldwide, events like extreme weather, rising sea levels, drought, and melting glaciers are some of the climate-related events increasing the pressure on children and their communities. The report argues that children’s rights must be centered in international and national climate, humanitarian, disaster risk reduction, development, and migration strategies.

Article. Forced Migration in Childhood: Are There Long-Term Health Effects? Saarela J. Forced Migration in Childhood: Are There Long-Term Health Effects? Social Science and Medicine -Population Health 2016; 2: 813-823. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2016.10.012. This article in Social Science and Medicine – Population Health analyzes the long-term health effects associated with forced migration in childhood, analyzing data from a mass Finnish migration during World War II. Focusing on data from 1988 to 2012, the authors found no support for the prediction that traumatic migration during childhood has long-term negative health consequences, most likely related to positive integration.

COMPLEX EMERGENCIES: CONFLICTS AND DISASTERS

Article. Militaries and Global Health: Peace, Conflict, and Disaster Response Michaud J et al. Militaries and Global Health: Peace, Conflict, and Disaster Response. The Lancet 2019; 393(10168): 276-286. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)32838-1. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12888 This article in The Lancet summaries the varied roles, responsibilities, and approaches of militaries in global health efforts and draws on examples and case studies across peacetime, conflict, and disaster response environments. The authors note that while militaries have numerous capabilities applicable to global health—such as research, surveillance, medical expertise, and rapidly deployable assets for logistics, transportation, and security—their focus on strategic, operational, and tactical objectives related to security and defense sometimes conflicts with humanitarian and global health goals and values. The article summarizes policies and guidelines that can help close the gap between military and civilian actors and better optimize the contributions of both sectors to enhance global health. This article is one of a two-part Lancet series on security and public health.

Article. Access to Medicines in Times of Conflict: Overlapping Compliance and Accountability Frameworks for Syria McGonigle LB, Gispen ME. Access to Medicines in Times of Conflict: Overlapping Compliance and Accountability Frameworks for Syria. Health and Human Rights Journal 2018; Apr 9. https://www.hhrjournal.org/2018/04/access-to-medicines-in-times-of-conflict-overlapping-compliance-and-accountability-frameworks-for-syria. This article in the Health and Human Rights Journal analyzes the intense need for improved access to medicines in Syria from an international law compliance and accountability perspective. They focus on four legal frameworks in the analysis: international human rights law, international drug control law, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law. The authors argue these four avenues are too weak on their own, but can be mutually reinforcing—though the likelihood of this happening still remains rhetorical.

Report. World Disasters Report 2018: Leaving No One Behind World Disasters Report 2018: Leaving No One Behind. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies 2018. https://media.ifrc.org/ifrc/world-disaster-report-2018. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12741 This report, published by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, describes the state of the world’s populations who are affected by disasters and crises. It identifies five key reasons why so many vulnerable people are being neglected or underserved by humanitarian programs: aid efforts have difficulty reaching individuals and groups that are “out of sight” (e.g. their births are not registered, they don’t have proof of identify, their geographic location is not known, or their needs are not recognized), “out of reach” (e.g. they live in places in which humanitarian actors are not adequately present or able to provide sufficient assistance), “out of the loop” (e.g. the elderly and persons with disabilities), or “out of scope” of the traditional humanitarian sector (e.g. irregular migrants or people suffering extreme urban violence); it also describes the underprioritized disasters that are “out of money” (e.g. underfunded crisis responses to small rapid-onset disasters, larger slow-onset disasters, and long-term complex emergencies). The report outlines clear recommendations to overcome these structural problems, calling for greater and more equitable funding as well as a more conscious, transparent approach to ensure the neediest are placed first in line for humanitarian assistance. The report can be downloaded in full or by individual chapter; an executive summary is also available.

Article. Navigating Complexity: Climate, Migration, and Conflict in a Changing World Null S, Risi LH. Navigating Complexity: Climate, Migration, and Conflict in a Changing World. Environmental Change and Security Program, Wilson Center 2016. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/navigating-complexity-climate-migration-and-conflict-changing-world. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12097 This discussion paper by the Wilson Center examines how increasing displacement and climate change exacerbates the form, type, and location of violent conflict. The paper underscores that official language and protections at the nexus of climate, migration, and conflict remain underdeveloped; that strengthening local institutions may prove essential to address the vast majority of migration, which happens within country borders; and that understanding local and national contexts is vital to the policy response. The paper shares specific lessons learned from Darfur and Syria.

Article. Natural Disasters, Armed Conflict and Public Health Leaning J, Guha-Sapir D. Natural Disasters, Armed Conflict and Public Health. The New England Journal of Medicine 2013; 369: 1836-42. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1056/NEJMra1109877. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11084 This review article provides an overview of the connections between natural disasters, armed conflict, and public health responses in recent decades. Natural disasters and armed conflict have marked human existence throughout history and have always caused peaks in mortality and morbidity. But in recent times, the scale and scope of these events have increased markedly. Since 1990, natural disasters have affected about 217 million people every year, and about 300 million people now live amidst violent insecurity around the world. The immediate and longer-term effects of these disruptions on large populations constitute humanitarian crises. In recent decades, public health interventions in the humanitarian response have made gains in the equity and quality of emergency assistance.

COMPLEX EMERGENCIES: FOOD INSECURITY

Country Profiles. FAO Country Profiles FAO Country Profiles. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. http://www.fao.org/countryprofiles/en. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11565 This web portal from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides access to a collection of country-specific profile pages, each of which compiles information about agriculture, water and aquaculture, food security, and more from across the entire FAO site. Linked resources on each country page include publications, news articles, briefs, infographics, and data tools. Each country profile page also contains key statistics and a Country leaflet, covering important information about the FAO’s involvement in that country and surrounding regions.

Report. Global Report on Food Crises 2019 Global Report on Food Crises 2019. Food Security Information Network 2019. http://fsinplatform.org/global-report-food-crises-2019. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11502 This report from the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) provides a global overview of acute food insecurity as well as individual country estimates of those nations affected by food conditions deemed either “stressed” or “crisis, emergency, or catastrophe/famine.” It also examines the major food crises of 2018 across the world—many of which were caused or exacerbated by conflict, climate and natural disasters, and high food prices—and within each country profile, provides a one-page infographic overview, a nutrition snapshot, information about the key drivers of that food crisis, and a specific outlook for the future. Though the number of people facing food crises is down to 113 million people from 124 million in 2017, the number of countries affected have grown as have the number of individuals on the precipice of acute hunger. Two-thirds of the people experiencing acute hunger are in just 8 countries: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.

The report concludes with a section on countries and risk factors which merit closer monitoring in 2019, and calls for greater global cooperation to the tackle the root causes of acute hunger—climate change, economic shocks, conflict, and displacement. Supplementary resources include interactive and abridged versions of the report, as well as a brief summary of key messages. The Global Report on Food Crises is an annual report documenting the latest estimates of acute hunger worldwide. The report is prepared by 15 global and regional institutions under the umbrella of the Food Security Information Network.

Report. 2019 Global Food Policy Report 2019 Global Food Policy Report. International Food Policy Research Institute 2019. http://gfpr.ifpri.info. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12949 This report from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) examines the global state of food policy in 2018, outlining major developments made and progress achieved. The report also described the challenges faced in food and nutrition security, with many regions of the world facing rising rates of hunger. This year’s report focuses on rural revitalization as a way to achieve the 2030 development agenda and to improve the lives of rural populations.

The report examines several timely topics related to rural revitalization, including rural employment, women’s empowerment, the environment, rural energy, and rural governance. The focus on rural revitalization stems from the desire to positively transform rural areas, making them good locations to raise families and work. The report includes data tables and visualizations for several key food policy indicators, including country-level data on hunger, agricultural spending and research investment, and projections for future agricultural production and consumption. It is accompanied by a synopsis, slide deck of key data, and summary videos.

Development Initiatives Poverty Research Ltd. 2018. https://globalnutritionreport.org/reports/global-nutrition-report-2018. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10926 This report from Development Initiatives Poverty Research Ltd. and produced and disseminated by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) documents the status of the world’s nutrition and progress made to meet global nutrition targets established by the World Health Assembly. The 2018 report explores areas that are critical for addressing the burden of malnutrition across the globe, including the need to improve the prevalence data on micronutrient deficiencies, the importance of a new approach to addressing malnutrition during crises, and the value of building upon the emerging focus on malnutrition among adolescents. The report also analyzes new and emerging data on the state of diets around the world to highlight the importance of diet as a cause of and solution to the global burden of nutrition. It also discusses government financial commitments to nutrition initiatives.

Report. World Food Assistance 2018: Preventing Food Crises World Food Assistance 2018: Preventing Food Crises. World Food Programme 2018. https://sway.com/23MSsaF62HSS0EXC. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12479 This report from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) examines the various causes of food crises around the world and recommends short- and long-term solutions. It explores the drivers of food crisis, including short-term events—like conflicts and natural disasters —and long-term influencers like poverty and food insecurity, acknowledging that there is not yet enough evidence on the efficacy of specific interventions and investments to conclusively prioritize action and resource allocation. The WFP seeks to improve this knowledge base by analyzing the links between food assistance expenditures in 152 countries and a range of other factors.

The report notes that the likelihood of a food crisis outbreak increases with the incidence of natural disasters, displacement, and/or chronic hunger; such outbreaks are less likely when there is greater availability of food, better food absorption capacity, and better access to markets and services. The report offers broad recommendations for preventing food crises, including promoting peace and ending violence conflict; ending chronic hunger; adequately preparing for and responding to natural disasters; reducing displacement; improving the performance of food systems; and making long-term investments in education, infrastructure, and widespread economic growth. An interactive website highlights the key findings from this report, which can also be downloaded in full.

Article. A Human Rights Approach to the Health Implications of Food and Nutrition Insecurity Ayala A, Meier BM. A Human Rights Approach to the Health Implications of Food and Nutrition Insecurity. Public Health Reviews 2017; 38 (10). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40985-017-0056-5. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12277 This open-access article in Public Health Reviews summarizes human rights documents and scholarship on the rights to health and to food in an analytical interpretation of government obligations to ensure food security as a human right. The article discusses food and nutrition security as a health determinant, the ways in which food insecurity is related to malnutrition, the role of gender and maternal health in food insecurity risks globally, the role of factors such as climate change, urbanization, humanitarian emergencies and disasters, the food industry and globalization of unhealthy diets, and national laws in a human rights approach to food and nutritional health.

Report. Migration, Agriculture and Climate Change: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Enhancing Resilience Migration, Agriculture and Climate Change: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Enhancing Resilience. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2017. http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/I8297EN. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12147 This report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) explores the complex linkages between migration, agriculture, and climate change and discusses the adaptation strategies of rural migration and potential policy-based responses. The report is a response to the 2015 Paris Agreement call for integrated responses to minimize risks related to climate change. It illustrates and summarizes connections through graphics and multiple country examples. The material would be useful in undergraduate class discussions on global environmental risks as they affect social determinants of health.

Commission. Food in the Anthropocene: The EAT–Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems Willett W et al. Food in the Anthropocene: The EAT–Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems. The Lancet 2019. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)31788-4. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12892 This report from the EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems addresses the need to feed a growing global population with a healthy diet while also improving sustainable food systems that minimize damage to the planet. The commission describes a “universal healthy reference diet”—which relies on increased consumption of plant-based foods and decreased consumption of unhealthy foods, including red meat, sugar, and refined grains—in order to provide major health benefits, such as reducing the incidence of diet-related obesity and lowering mortality from diet-related noncommunicable diseases like coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The commission also integrates global targets for sustainable food systems and aims to provide scientific boundaries to reduce environmental degradation caused by food production, which is among the largest drivers of climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater use, interference with global nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, land-system change, and chemical pollution. The report includes five strategies to achieve a “Great Food Transformation,” including seeking national and international commitment to shifting toward healthy diets; reorienting agricultural priorities to emphasize the production of healthy food over large quantities of food; sustainably intensifying food production to generate high-quality outputs that are more environmentally sustainable; strengthening and coordinating governance of land and oceans; and reducing food loss and waste by at least half, in line with global sustainable development goals (SDGs).

This commission report is accompanied by a summary report as well as a series of briefing documents for key stakeholders, including cities/urban planners, farmers, food service professionals, health care providers, policymakers, and the general public.

climate change. The commission identifies malnutrition (in all its forms, including obesity, undernutrition, and other dietary risks) as the leading cause of poor health globally. It also notes that the health effects of climate change will compound the health challenges of malnutrition and that these three pandemics—obesity, undernutrition, and climate change—represent a “global syndemic” that affects most people across the world. The commission urges holistic new thinking and action—about business models, food systems, civil society involvement, and national and international governance—toward the goal of reorienting human systems to achieve better human and planetary health.

Data Publication. A Pilot Study on Disaggregating SDG Indicators by Migratory Status Jeffers K et al. A Pilot Study on Disaggregating SDG Indicators by Migratory Status. International Organization for Migration 2018. http://publications.iom.int/books/pilot-study-disaggregating-sdg-indicators-migratory-status. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12762 This data publication published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) examines the feasibility of disaggregating data relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) based on migratory status. Currently, there is a dearth of and limited access to quality data related to migrants, a particularly vulnerable population. Inspired by the SDG commitment to “leave no one behind,” SDG Target 17.18 calls for disaggregating SDG-relevant data by migratory status so that the needs of migrants can be better addressed.

This pilot study was conducted by IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Center (GMDAC), investigating the potential of using harmonized census data to (a) monitor progress towards the SDG global disaggregation goal, and (b) assess to what extent migrants may be “left behind.” This study provides these five recommendations which would encourage migration-relevant SDG monitoring and therefore a better understanding of migrants’ baseline situation across the world: disaggregating SDG indicators by migratory status and comparing results over time at the national level; providing census data in a timelier manner; sharing high-precision census data between more countries and territories; prioritizing which targets should be disaggregated by migratory status; and using other sources of information aside from census data.

International Organization for Migration 2018. http://publications.iom.int/books/global-migration-indicators-2018. GHELI repository link: https://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/12764 This data publication published by the International Organization for Migration summarizes key trends along 17 migration themes, ranging from forced migration to migration and the environment. 258 million international migrants—people living in a country other than their country of births—were counted in 2017, representing 3.4 percent of the world’s population. In addition to reviewing the stocks and flows of international migrants, the publication also includes graphics which illustrate distribution of migrant workers, growth of remittances from 1990 to 2018, and trends in global displacement between 2007–2017. The graphics are followed by an annex with a list of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that are relevant to migrants, along with a separate list of global objectives set to achieve safe orderly, and regular migration. The authors conclude that more concerted efforts are needed to improve migration data to monitor trends more systematically in the years to come. This publication is based on data extracted from the Global Migration Data Portal, which provides the most recent data on migration worldwide, bringing together 98 migration data indicators from 25 international data sources.

This resource pack was curated by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University (GHELI) to support an upcoming Forum at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The multidisciplinary materials are suitable for educators, students, and policy makers wanting to learn about U.S. progress and roadblocks to disaster preparedness and resilience, contextualized in a broader global landscape of climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction efforts. In addition to sharing information specific to the recent California wildfires, this resource pack also includes resources reflecting on lessons learned from Hurricanes Maria, Sandy, and Katrina.

The Forum’s “Unprecedented Natural Disasters in a Time of Climate Change: A Governors Roundtable” event is described as follows:

Hammered by unprecedented natural disasters, parts of the United States have coped with raging wildfires, catastrophic hurricanes, dangerous heat levels, blizzards and floods. In addition, climate change has introduced new risks and exacerbated existing problems, according to the National Climate Assessment. This Forum event will convene a dynamic panel of former governors, who will share their unique insights into the challenges of leadership and natural disasters. What does it take to prepare, respond and rebuild? What roles do the public, local and state officials and emergency responders play? What is the intersection between economies and disasters? And what climate change considerations need to be understood?
