Climate-induced migration

Climate-induced migration critical issue for Pacific NGOs

CIVICUS has brought together about 800 delegates from about 100 countries for meetings just outside Suva.

The executive director of PIANGO, the Pacific umbrella group for local NGOs, Emele Duituturaga said it was an opportunity for the Pacific civil society groups to amplify their concerns.

She said discussion on a migration process for those affected by climate change was yet to be grasped on the international stage but she said the reality in the Pacific was people were already being forced to move.
