The so-called mobility pathway allows 280 people affected by climate change to apply for a special visa to resettle in Australia every year.\u00a0The island nation\u2019s total population is about 11,000.<\/p>\n<p>Tuvalu had asked Australia to implement a migration scheme, given the risk that low-lying islands and atolls faced from rising sea levels. Albanese said the request had led to a treaty that was \u201cwithout doubt the most significant agreement between Australia and a Pacific island nation ever\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kausea Natano, Tuvalu\u2019s prime minister, said the treaty with Australia \u201cstands as a beacon of hope, signifying not just a milestone, but a giant leap forward in our joint mission to ensure regional stability, sustainability and prosperity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Natano added that the two countries would work together to ensure there would not be a \u201cbrain drain\u201d from Tuvalu. Australia will also pump A$350mn ($220mn) into climate infrastructure in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts said the agreement represented a global first in tying a visa explicitly to climate change, an existential problem for many Pacific island states.<\/p>\n<p>Mihai Sora, a research fellow at the Lowy Institute\u2019s Pacific Islands Program, said the treaty was a \u201cremarkable diplomatic achievement\u201d given the geopolitical landscape in the Pacific, where China and the US have competed for security and economic deals with some of the world\u2019s smallest countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTuvalu may be a small nation, but this treaty is a huge step forward for Australia\u2019s partnerships in the region. By weaving together climate co-operation, human mobility with dignity and intimate security collaboration, the treaty is a model for compassionate and strategic partnerships in the face of global threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand had introduced a visa in 2017 for Pacific islanders displaced by climate change but dropped the plan. \u201cClimate refugees\u201d often wanted to stay in their own country to preserve their society and culture, according to a research paper published by the New Zealand Association for Impact Assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s Pacific Islands Forum in Fiji focused on regional strategic competition between China and the US, which came to a head when the Solomon Islands signed a security pact with Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Australia and the US have stepped up efforts to increase aid and improve diplomatic relations with small island states in the Pacific in the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>That has culminated in an agreement between Australia and Tuvalu to \u201cmutually agree co-operation with other countries in Tuvalu\u2019s security sectors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Albanese said the agreement was a \u201cclear guarantee\u201d that Australia would provide military support if Tuvalu were threatened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c728cdf9-cfc0-4c4c-a900-5d8b4f61fcee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay informed with free updates Simply sign up to the Climate change myFT Digest &#8212; delivered directly to your inbox.
