Providing technical advisory by supplying technical guidance, identifying good practices, ensuring consistent assessments, and accessing climate finance.
Leading coordination and alignment by promoting alignment of risk information and facilitating coordination among governments, CROP agencies, and partners.
Generating knowledge and evidence by supporting development of projections and scenarios, for communities most at-risk of climate mobility and promoting the integration of data.
Developing standards and tools by contributing to the development of common regional indicators, standards, tools and frameworks, documenting existing approaches, and promoting fit-for-purpose methodologies across Pacific contexts.
Ensuring data accessibility and use by promoting data sharing principles, supporting accessibility, and strengthening the link between data, risk information and financing pipelines.
PAC 1 membership is open to representatives from:
The purpose of PAC 2 is to develop and coordinate knowledge and advice to Forum member countries, communities and civil society on rights-based, inclusive and culturally appropriate climate mobility action in line with the guiding principles of the Pacific Regional Framework on Climate Mobility (PRFCM).
PAC2 will undertake the following core functions:
Serve as a technical/expert group with capacity to support Forum Members’ and TWG-HM members requests for the design and operationalization of the CMAH.
Curate knowledge products, best practices, model policies and legislation, tools and data for CMAH.
Support and advocate for the use of CMAH to guide decision making and action for climate Mobility through webinars and other advocacy tools.
Support the TWG-HM through the coordination of monitoring, evaluation and learning on Priority Action 2 for the PRFCM Implementation Plan, including for the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific MEL processes through the Technical Advisory Group on Climate Change and Disasters.
PAC 2 membership is open to representatives from:
The purpose of PAC 3 is to enable bilateral and regional exchange, study tours and dialogue by providing the regional support and coordination mechanism for forum member countries, communities, academia and civil society. It intends to strengthen their capacity and guide national and regional planned relocation interventions based on practical experience, rooted in Pacific values and reinforced by collective action.
PAC 3 will undertake the following core functions:
Working collaboratively to establish a peer-to-peer learning programme in consultation with interested member countries. This programme will conduct the exchange of national experiences and best practices on cultural preservation within planned relocation processes, based on the priorities of governments and communities.
Designing and facilitating Regional Climate Mobility Dialogue(s) to capture best practices and experiences during peer-to-peer exchange; it will also update the Regional Guidance on Planned Relocation and CMAH.
Serve as a technical/expert group with capacity to support Forum Members’ and TWG-HM members requests for information, coordination, technical assistance and review of relevant documents and activities in support of Priority Action 3 of the PRFCM Implementation Plan 2025-2030.
Support the TWG-CM through coordinating monitoring, evaluation and learning on Priority Action 3 for the PRFCM Implementation Plan, including for the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific MEL processes through the Technical Advisory Group on Climate Change and Disasters.
PAC3 membership is open to representatives from:
The purpose of PAC 4 is to develop and coordinate knowledge and advice to Forum member countries, communities, and civil society on rights-based, inclusive and culturally appropriate climate mobility action in line with the guiding principles of the Pacific Regional Framework on Climate Mobility (PRFCM).
PAC 4 will undertake the following core functions:
Serve as a technical/expert group with the capacity to support Forum Members’ and TWG-CM members’ requests for information, data, research and review of relevant documents in support of Priority Action 4 of the PRFCM Implementation Plan 2025-2030.
Support the TWG-HM through coordinating monitoring, evaluation and learning on Priority Action 4 for the PRFCM Implementation Plan, including for the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific MEL processes through the Technical Advisory Group on Climate Change and Disasters.
PAC 4 membership is open to representatives from:
Members should demonstrate:
Technical expertise in relation to the Priority Action 4 specifically, and/or climate change, disaster risk reduction and human mobility (staying in place, planned relocation, migration, displacement) in the context of the Pacific.
The purpose of PAC 5 is to provide technical advice, coordination support, and practical guidance to improve access to timely, appropriate, and coordinated financing for national climate mobility action in Pacific Island countries and territories.
PAC 5 will undertake the following core functions:
Supporting coordination on climate mobility finance by promoting information-sharing on relevant financing opportunities for national climate mobility action, and by encouraging coherence between regional initiatives, partner support, and country priorities.
Identifying financing opportunities and constraints, by locating key barriers affecting equitable Pacific access to climate mobility-related finance. Highlight gaps and opportunities under relevant regional and international financing mechanisms.
Supporting technical inputs to Priority Action 5 by providing advice to the TWG-HM on steps to advance the financing priorities set out in the PRFCM Implementation Plan, and by contributing to the development of concept notes, briefing notes, or technical inputs.
Promoting effective engagement with diverse sources of potential financing by identifying, liaising with, and overall building interest with potential culturally-appropriate financing sources for national and regional climate mobility actions.
Contributing to reporting and learning, by providing updates to the TWG-HM on progress related to climate mobility financing, and by contributing to relevant evaluation processes under the PRFCM Implementation Plan.

Overview
The 3rd Technical Workshop on the Risk Index for Climate Displacement (RICD) and the Climate Catalytic Fund (CCF) builds on previous workshops in August and November 2025.
RICD is a foresight and decision-support tool designed to anticipate future climate-related displacement by combining hazard, exposure, and vulnerability data with people-centred insights. This information is then used to target climate finance initiatives, adaptation measures, analysis, and other interventions. This workshop hopes to provide updates on further development of macro- and micro-level analysis across Fiji and other countries, as well as its current applications to initiatives such as the Climate Catalytic Fund, which is IOM's fund that was opened to high-risk communities that create innovative adaptation measures to stay in place.
Workshop Objectives
This workshop aims bring together government officials, technical experts, and development partners who focus on climate mobility, displacement, relocation and climate finance for updates on:
