The Regional Talanoa on Climate Induced Planned Relocation took place on 05 October 2023. The Regional Talanoa is in recognition of the climate crisis that we are in and the urgent need to take swift action in addressing the needs of Pacific Island climate vulnerable communities, who with every passing year, are placed under increasing risk of being displaced due to intensifying climate change impacts.

Planned relocation is identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a response measure to ongoing sea level rise and land subsidence in low-lying islands. Planned relocation is also seen as a strategy to anticipate and address any future displacement, to ensure that communities move with dignity and are resettled in a secure environment.
