Strengthen the capacity of Pacific Island Countries to manage the impact of climate change in migration

The overall objective of the project is to develop the capacity of Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to address the impacts of climate change on migration through well-managed, rights-based migration schemes and policy frameworks, supported by comprehensive research and knowledge building. In particular, the action will target the countries in the region most vulnerable to the effects of climate change: Kiribati, Tuvalu and Nauru. The project’s key objectives are: 1. Review of legislation, practices and policies relating to migration in the Pacific region; 2. Formulation of recommendations on improvement of the management of climate change induced migration; 3. Development of migration indicators and collection and sharing of information on current labour migration in Kiribati, Tuvalu and Nauru; 4. Enhanced national capacities to effectively participate in regional, bilateral and global schemes on migration (Kiribati, Tuvalu and Nauru); 5. Development of well managed bilateral and regional labour migration schemes
