Main gaps: Cross-border displacement
• Standards regarding admission/stay/return• Criteria to distinguish displacement from voluntary
migration (particularly slow-onset)• Mechanisms for cross-border cooperation (states and
organizations)• Unclear agency mandates• Weak cross-border operational strategic coordination
(humanitarian/development partners)• Funding gaps, particularly durable solutions

Pacific Consultation Key Conclusions
• Moving is a last resort: But migration, relocation, displacement already a reality
• Planning should protect people’s rights, safeguard cultural identity, and ensure they can live in safety and dignity
• Migration in dignity (education/training)• Relocation poses challenges & protection
problems (host communities/land/culture)• Small, low-lying islands: slow and sudden-onset

Pacific Consultation Next Steps
• Continue regional discussion to find Pacific solutions and try to prevent displacement (Pacific Island Forum)
• Integrate human mobility issues within relevant regional policies (Pacific Plan/DRR/CC)
• Address human mobility within national plans (NAPs, DRR, DRM, development, humanitarian)
• Raise Pacific perspective in international fora (NI side event in Bonn)
