Climate frontlines.
Our climate in the pacific campaign

The Climate Frontlines campaign and the sub-group, Friends of Tulele Peisa, are focused on those at the frontlines of climate change in the Pacific. 

In particular, the Climate Frontlines Collective raises awareness and funds for people in the low-lying Pacific nations of Kiribati and Tuvalu who are being forced to leave their their communities due to climate change. These island communities are already being displaced by rising sea levels.

climate change related displacement & relocation in the pacific

In the last week of February, Wendy Flannery, the Climate Frontlines convenor, participated in a capacity building workshop on climate change in Savusavu, Fiji, titled: "Connecting the Dots: learnings from community based adaptation and migration to promote climate resilience, and how these can influence national and international policy".  The workshop was co-hosted by the Pacific Conference of Churches and Bread for the World.  The participants represented two programs in Papua New Guinea, two in Fiji, and individual representatives from Kiribati, Tuvalu and Solomon Islands.  A report on the workshop will be available in the next edition of the FoE Australia magazine, Chain Reaction.

When People Have to Move

On 23 May 2014, Climate Frontlines co-hosted with the QUT Faculty of Law a one-day interdisciplinary symposium with the title:
When People Have to Move: climate change related displacement and pre-emptive migration pathways in the Australia-Pacific region.
Its aim was to explore potential solutions for addressing the emerging challenge of climate change related displacement, drawing on knowledge and experience from academia, civil society and government, local, interstate and international.  Themes addressed included:



Setting the Scene: Experiences of Displacement



Overview of the International Framework

The Pacific and International Negotiations

Migration Pathways: Programs & Experiences

Panel Discussion: The Way Forward

Mock Trial: Climate “Refugee” Application

* Major presentations at the symposium will be published in a special edition of the journal of the QUT Faculty of Law.
