This policy advocates a ‘stay and adapt’ approach in the medium to short term, and recognises the need for a longer term planning approach to address potential displacement, migration and resettlement with the slow onset of climate change impacts and associated potential pressure to move off our coral atolls and away from our coastal areas.

Going forward implementation arrangements for draft policy instruments as well as those scheduled for preparation in sectors such as Water, Waste, Sanitation, Tourism, Agriculture, Land, Marine Resources, Environment and Culture and issues such as gender, disability, displacement and migration will be prepared to ensure alignment with this policy.
