| Title | Climate-Induced Migration in the Paris Agreement Process: An Analysis of the Nationally Determined Contributions of the Pacific Island States |
| Summary | Climate-induced migration is one of the emerging policy puzzles for the global community. To this day, a consensus has not been reached on an appropriate policy framework. As the adverse effects of climate change are becoming more and more intense, addressing this policy gap is crucial. This thesis focuses on the case of the Small Island Developing States in the Pacific Ocean. By reviewing their Nationally Determined Contributions in the Paris Agreement process, this thesis explores how these states frame the issue of climate-induced migration. The framings used for this analysis are those of security, human rights, adaptation, and responsibility. The findings show that the framing of the Pacific SIDS is consistent with the approaches of adaptation and responsibility. |
