Pacific Governments Formalize Rights-Based Framework for Climate Relocation Planning
Pacific states launched the PAC-GIPR in March 2026, advancing a regional approach to planned relocation as a last-resort response to climate impacts while prioritizing community participation, Indigenous rights, and cultural preservation. Built on the PRFCM (2023) and its 2025–2030 implementation plan, the guidance aims to shift the region from reactive disaster displacement toward structured long-term mobility governance.
