NZ-backed climate mobility initiative launched across Pacific
The nearly NZ$18 million programme aims to put Pacific people at the centre of decisions about their futures as climate impacts continue to intensify.
The NZ-backed Pacific Climate Mobility Partnerships Programme (PCMP), a NZ$17.9 million initiative, has been launched to support Pacific Islands in addressing climate mobility challenges. The programme aims to strengthen regional cooperation and implement people-centred responses to climate-related hazards, sea-level rise, and environmental degradation.
Fiji's permanent secretary for environment and climate change, Dr Sivendra Michael, highlighted the importance of the initiative as Pacific communities face increasing climate-related pressures on livelihoods, wellbeing, and human security. The PCMP, which brings together stakeholders from various international organisations, emphasizes the importance of Pacific-led, rights-based, and people-centred action, ensuring that communities most affected by climate change are at the centre of decision-making and action.
