In October 2025, UNHCR and the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons, in collaboration with the IDP Protection Expert Group, partnered with the International Institute of Humanitarian Law to convene a peer-to-peer exchange in Sanremo, Italy, for local and subnational government officials from 9 countries to advance the implementation of laws and policies on internal displacement.

It provided a platform for peer-to-peer exchange on best practices and municipal strategies to address protracted displacement, promote durable solutions, and advance inclusive urban development
