Human mobility, natural disasters and climate change in the Pacific: Background paper

This publication is part of a multi-partner project whose overall aim is to address a legal gap regarding cross-border displacement in the context of disasters. The project seeks to:

1. increase the understanding of states and relevant actors in the international community about displacement related to disasters and climate change;
2. equip them to plan for and manage internal relocations of populations in a protection sensitive manner; and
3. provide states and other relevant actors tools and guidance to protect persons who cross international borders owing to disasters, including those linked to climate change.
