Researcher, Fiji
Biography
Peni Hausia Havea is a recent PhD graduate on Climate Change. His research looks at the impacts of climate change on livelihoods, health and well-being – a mixed method approach. His passion to improve health and well-being of those who are displaced because of climate change and/or disasters caused by natural hazards has prompted him to pursue this topic on climate change and diplomacy. This research is the first ever to be conducted on climigration in Australia amongst Pacific Islanders. It is hoped that by the end of this research, Australia will consider climigration as a priority for the nation. It should be because the ‘Crown’ states that “any measures to respond to climate change should support the development of an effective global response to climate change.”
