Nansen Initiative

The Nansen Initiative is a global effort focused on improving protections and assistance for people displaced across borders due to disasters like floods, storms, and climate change. It brings together countries, organizations, and experts to develop policies and solutions that ensure the safety, rights, and well-being of disaster-affected populations. Named after the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who helped refugees after World War I, the initiative aims to build collective responsibility and practical strategies for managing cross-border displacement caused by natural disasters.
