Key messages on the humanitarian-development nexus and its links to peace

Against the back drop of the SDGs—with the promise of leaving no one behind, ending needs by reducing risks and vulnerabilities is now a shared commitment within the UN and the IASC. Building on major global processes, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World Humanitarian Summit, the New York Declaration on Refugees and Migrants, the twin resolutions on Sustaining Peace, the Global Compacts on Refugees and Migration, and the OECD DAC recommendation on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, new working methods across the humanitarian and development are recognized as imperative, especially with the aim to improve the protection environment and contribute to prevention and peace.
