The Caribbean Migration Consultations (CMC) is a non-binding forum that allows its Member States to discuss coordinated regional efforts for the effective management of migration and to develop policies with a rights-based approach aimed at effective and comprehensive migration governance in the region. Emergency preparedness and response and refugee protection are among CMC thematic areas of focus. CMC has held regular expert-level consultations among its Member States on these topics. These include:

• High-level workshop on human mobility and disasters in the Caribbean (10–11 April 2018);
• Webinar: Regional report on migration governance in the island States of the Commonwealth Caribbean (8 November 2018);
• Webinar on labour migration as an adaptation strategy to environmental change in the Caribbean (6 March 2019);
• Regional consultation towards a framework for regional cooperation on human mobility in the context of disasters and the adverse effects of climate change in the Caribbean (6–7 June 2019).

The latter event involved regional and national stakeholders, including migration officers, disaster risk reduction and environment experts and consular affairs staff. It aimed to identify policy, normative and operational challenges and gaps related to disasters and displacement in the Caribbean, and to develop concrete, practical policy and programmatic guidance to enhance the region’s overall preparedness and response capacity to these challenges under the work of CMC.
