Furthermore, additional financing is needed to avert, minimize, and address loss and damage in the context of the adverse impacts of climate change, including displacement.

Adequate resources must be dedicated in the WIM and the SNLD for capacity, action, and support to avert, minimize and address displacement in the context of climate change, according to the needs of affected Parties.

13. Displacement & Migration: We call for increased support to the Pacific region to help most vulnerable communities to increase their resilience to sudden-onset disasters and slow-onset events due to climate change. We need to help communities to avoid disaster displacement, to support adaptation and to safeguard and promote local jobs and livelihoods. Where displacement and migration driven by climate change is unavoidable, we call on international support to assist and protect the growing number of climate displaced persons and migrants in our region.
