Labour migration is increasingly recognised as a significant factor that can contribute to climate resilient development pathways for small islands. In the Pacific islands region, labour mobility schemes are already allowing for climate change adaptation and economic development to occur in labour migrants' countries of origin . Dun et al.  demonstrates that temporary or circular migrants from the Solomon Islands, working in Australia under its Seasonal Worker Programme , are using the money they earn to invest in adaptation and development activities back home. Similarly, labour migrants from Vanuatu, Kiribati and Samoa contribute to development and in situ climate change adaptation  that enable discussions about more resilient futures for their countries .
