How does climate change drive displacement? Why do vulnerable people decide to move or stay?
“In Our Island” is a video documentary produced by JRS Asia Pacific featuring the vision, views, and values of climate-vulnerable communities in the Philippines as they make choices and face the future.
JRS Asia Pacific is implementing the Research and Advocacy for Climate Policy and Action (RACPA) project with the Institute of Environmental Science for Social Change (ESSC) and Percik Institute as consortium partners. RACPA (2023–2028) is supported by the Government of Australia and Caritas Australia.
Addressing Climate-Induced Displacement
Who are we?
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Singapore recently formed a sub-committee called Care for Creation and Communities (CCC). This initiative was born from our deep concern for how climate change is impacting the most vulnerable, especially communities already at risk of forced displacement.
Through CCC, we are exploring practical ways to respond — by raising awareness, advocating for vulnerable communities, and walking in solidarity with those on the frontlines of environmental challenges.
Our Areas of Focus
- Awareness & Education – sharing knowledge, resources, and experiences to deepen understanding of climate displacement
- Advocacy – amplifying the stories of vulnerable communities, making their struggles known, and inspiring other around the globe to support and take action
- Community Engagement – creating spaces for dialogue, reflection, and collective action, while also spending time with vulnerable communities to listen, learn, and understand their needs and struggles firsthand
- Partnership – building collaborations with individuals, organizations and networks that share our mission
