Abstract Research on climate change and human mobility has posited migration as a potentially adaptive response. In the Pacific Islands region, international labour specifically is an important component of emerging policy, at both regional national scales. However, existence opportunities for people in climate-exposed locations to move work does not, its own, advance justice. To gain insights into nexus justice, adaptation, this paper explores social emotional experiences programme participants from climate-vulnerable Tuvalu well emergent regime which taking place, drawing qualitative research undertaken policy context with workers short-term contracts under Australia’s Labour Scheme.
