The Pacific Regional Framework on Climate Mobility is the focus of a three-day workshop currently underway in Nadi, Fiji.
Running from January 7 to January 9, 2026, this gathering is a core component of the Pacific Climate Change Migration and Human Security (PCCMHS) Phase II program.
This initiative is designed to strengthen the resilience and adaptive capacity of Pacific Islanders facing the realities of climate change and natural disasters that migration and relocation remain a choice and displacement is averted, minimized and addressed.
The training has brought in a total of 15 participants from across the Pacific region who work in the media and communications space and are passionate about climate change and resilience in the pacific.
The PCCMHS program will support three outcomes including:
1. Governments cooperate at the Pacific regional and sub-regional level to manage climate mobility,
2. Pacific Governments develop and implement national policies to address climate mobility, and
3. Pacific Civil society actors, workers and employer organizations, and communities actively engage in the national, regional and global processes to manage climate mobility.
The PCCMHS program is delivered through a partnership with the International organization of Migration (IOM), United Nation (UN) Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), International Labour Organization (ILO) and the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) and the Disaster Displacement (PDD).
Under the PCCMHS program, the IOM has supported the development of a Pacific Climate Mobility Training Package which is being rolled out at a regional and national level across the Pacific and this 3-days training will serve as a key to enhancing understanding and management of climate mobility in the Pacific drawing on and amplifying the “Pacific Regional Framework on Climate Mobility”.
