identified additional push factors formigration for example inMicronesia include
earnings at home, potential earnings abroad, and the costs ofmigration…poverty
and hardship; unemployment; lowwages; high fertility; poor health and education
services; conflict, insecurity and violence; governance issues; human rights abuse;

Much has beenwritten on relocation and climatemigrants and refugees in the
Pacific context (Barnett andO’Neil 2012; Campbell et al. 2005;McAdam2012),
howevermuch of this discussion has not necessarily fed into the L&Dagenda or
to research and policy on adaptation limits (Barnett et al. 2015; Nalau and Leal
Filho 2018). The concept of adaptation constraints in the Pacific context relates to
factors, which currently impede progress in implementing adaptation (Klein et al.
2014).Suchconstraintscouldinprinciplebeovercomeby,forexample,strengthening
