Longtime DS collaborator and photojournalist extraordinaire Kadir van Lohuizen of NOOR Images has just released his latest beautiful photo collection, After Us The Deluge. This incredible book captures the uniquely presented images of climate change the world over using Kadir's insightful eyes as a frontline guide to the horrors of climate change already devastating ever growing portions of our vulnerable planet. DS has had the great honour of working with Kadir in climate devastated parts of Bangladesh, along the eastern coastlines of Panama where the Guna people are already moving to new homes because of climate change, in Kiribati and beyond. After Us The Deluge contains chapters by a series of authors accompanied by Kadir's award winning pictures from Greenland, the United States, Bangladesh, Panama, the Carteret Islands, Fiji, his home country of the Netherlands and many other parts of the globe that are very much living through the beginnings of the ravages of ever-worsening climate change, something hinted at in the title of this masterpiece. DS invites everyone who cares about climate change and those who wish to learn more get a copy of Kadir's book and then as our initials say - Do Something - to become part of…...

  DS has been active on the climate displacement front for 15 years now, and in the run to COP26 DS Director Scott Leckie has given a range of online presentation and appearences. Have a watch of a few of these below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2jUcojwsoU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0_y5_Fn5L8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtVU1D0H_DI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGdsCdtfMIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6kEwhWSPII...

  Less than half of the world's national Constitutions enshrine the legal right to adequate housing, despite the widespread recognition of this right within countless international and regional human rights instruments.[1]With a view to expanding constitutional recognition of this cornerstone right, Displacement Solutions has developed a model constitutional article on the right to adequate housing which we hope will assist constitutional drafters to insert this vital right into every future constitution throughout the world, beginning, we hope, with the Constitution current being drafted in the Republic of Chile. If you would like to be in touch, please contact us at: info@displacementsolutions.org. Model Constitutional Article on the Right to Adequate Housing   Section 1. The Right to Adequate Housing 1(1). Every woman, man and child has the right to dignified and adequate housing which is accessible, affordable, habitable, secure, safe, healthy, culturally adequate and in an appropriate location. 1(2). This right includes the right to equality of treatment and equal protection of the law, within an environment free from any form of racial or other discrimination. 1(3). This right constitutes a duty of solidarity for the nation as a whole. Any person or family unable to meet their housing requirements has…...

Ten Years of Action It is hard to believe that DS has now been active for ten busy and eventful years. This has been quite a ride for our (intentionally) small and flexible organisation, and one involving an wonderful team of dedicated HLP experts from around the world working in a range of displacement hotspots. From developing the Peninsula Principles, to spearheading global efforts to obtain land for climate displaced people, developing IDP return designs in Timor Leste, Somalia, Colombia, Bhutan and many more, carrying on-site investigations in Tuvalu, Solomon Islands, Panama, Kiribati, Bangladesh and other climate change-affected areas, to conducting HLP rights analysis and restitution design work in Myanmar, advising the UN on HLP issues in Syria, publishing several books, inaugurating the world’s first law school courses on climate displacement, and writing DS reports, producing films, building homes for climate displaced families in Chittagong, and so much more, this first DS decade has been an exhilarating one. Since our founding on 28 December 2006, DS has worked in some 35 countries to assist in finding rights-based solutions to forced displacement in all of its forms. Besides our legal experts, we have had the honour of working with villagers, community…...
