The Marshall Islands has an average elevation of less than two metres, making it extremely vulnerable to sea level rise.

Due to sea level rise and coastal erosion as a result of climate change, whole communities in small island states may need to relocate.

Drought, intensified by climate change is causing food shortages and impacting the livelihoods of farmers.

Support action that enables people living in the Pacific Islands to build a more sustainable future and make staying possible.

IOM is addressing the links between climate change and migration, working with governments to manage and prepare for climate migration. 

We have projects supporting people on this front in several Pacific Island States, including Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
