Australia and Tuvalu recently signed a unique treaty called the Australia‐Tuvalu Falepili Union Treaty, on climate change adaptation, migration, and security. Here we analyze the treaty's migration provision which will enable citizens of Tuvalu to live and work in Australia. We ground our analysis in the state of knowledge about climate change and migration in Tuvalu, explaining the Falepili Union and the ways in which its migration provision may be either a mechanism for adaptation or maladaptation. We then describe a range of policy conditions to maximize the adaptation outcomes for Tuvalu and Tuvaluans. These include measures from the Australian government to support Tuvaluans who migrate as well as the Tuvaluan‐Australians who will be key to their integration, and invest in key sectors in Tuvalu such as coastal protection, ICT, and transport. Cooperation between the Tuvalu and Australian governments will also be needed to help direct remittances into public goods and adaptive technologies and practices, to harness the benefits of skills and training for both economies and to monitor the scheme to ensure it delivers adaptation outcomes to Tuvalu and Tuvaluans. Further policy measures discussed include the selection of people eligible for migration and improved communications about the benefits and risks and governance of the scheme. Most if not all of these will be necessary if the migration provision of the Faleplili Union is to be a mechanism for adaptation.

迁移即适应？澳大利亚和图瓦卢之间的 Falepili 联盟


澳大利亚和图瓦卢最近签署了一项关于气候变化适应、移民和安全的独特条约，称为澳大利亚-图瓦卢法勒皮利联盟条约。在这里，我们分析了该条约的移民条款，该条款将使图瓦卢的公民能够在澳大利亚生活和工作。我们的分析基于图瓦卢的气候变化和移民知识状况，解释了 Falepili 联盟及其移民供应可能成为适应或适应不良机制的方式。然后，我们描述了一系列政策条件，以最大限度地提高图瓦卢和图瓦卢人的适应结果。这些措施包括澳大利亚政府为支持移民的图瓦卢人以及将成为他们融入的关键的图瓦卢-澳大利亚人而采取的措施，并投资于图瓦卢的关键部门，如海岸保护、信息通信技术和交通。图瓦卢和澳大利亚政府之间还需要合作，帮助将汇款引导到公共产品以及适应性技术和实践中，利用技能和培训的好处，并监督该计划以确保它为图瓦卢和图瓦卢人带来适应结果。讨论的进一步政策措施包括选择符合移民条件的人，以及改善关于该计划的好处和风险以及治理的沟通。如果 Faleplili 联盟的移民条款要成为一种适应机制，那么大多数（如果不是全部）都是必要的。
