•       Who will move?  When?  How?  How many?
•       Do countries have obligations to protect people who move?  (so-called ‘climate refugees’)?
•       What is the role of human rights law?
•       Does climate-related movement pose security risks?
•       Relocation and Pacific land tenure
•       Statehood and ‘sinking islands’
