Main activities

Protect and empower communities adversely affected by climate change and disasters in the Pacific region, focusing specifically on climate change and disaster-related migration, displacement and planned relocation

A key component is to support a regional human security-based response on climate change-related displacement, migration, and planned relocation by facilitating an appropriate framework. The programme will also empower communities affected by climate change through training and skills development activities to increase access to labour mobility schemes, and pre-departure orientation to support migrants to migrate safely with an understanding of their rights. The programme will also increase the capacity of government and non-government stakeholders to promote labour mobility that is safe, regular, and inclusive. Finally, through case studies and data collection, the programme will contribute to the evidence-base of good practices.
