flag Aotearoa New Zealand’s migration system is failing climate-displaced people from Tuvalu and Kiribati, Amnesty International reports, citing the Pacific Access Category visa program’s exclusion of applicants based on age, disability, and health, which violates international human rights standards. flag The rigid criteria separate families, force overstays, and leave vulnerable individuals at risk, despite worsening climate impacts like sea level rise and saltwater contamination. flag The report urges New Zealand to create rights-based humanitarian visas, suspend deportations, and strengthen climate action ahead of COP30.
