Pacific population dynamics in the context of climate change

This Thematic Paper summarises some of the high-level findings, and their policy implications for Aotearoa, that can be drawn from a substantive review of contemporary and projected regional population dynamics and mobility trends in the Pacific. The summary of population dynamics is situated in a context of climate change, but the primary focus is deliberately on the region’s changing demography.

Regional population dynamics and mobility trends in the Pacific

This report discusses the contemporary demographic context and future dynamics of population change, including international mobility, in the Pacific region. It draws on various sources including existing studies, census data, demographic measures (such as births and deaths), and arrival and departure data where available. The report contains reliable evidence on the scale, patterns and processes of population change in the Pacific for the region as a whole, for its three major subregions and some individual countries.
