In the years to come, climate-related shocks and trends will amplify the challenges and risks of displacement for the people of the Pacific.

This is explored through a hybrid approach employed in the postulation of a legal framework, which would attempt to create a balance of interest between the migrants and the receiving countries articulated on socio-economic and environmental parameters.
