Broad summary: WHO launched a regional research agenda on health, migration and displacement in the Western Pacific, with a focus on climate change. The point is to connect evidence with more inclusive and resilient health systems. What happened: WHO brought together experts from UN agencies, academia, civil society and migrant youth networks to discuss research priorities and policy uptake. What is confirmed: The agenda identifies priorities such as inclusive universal health coverage, emergency preparedness for migrants, multisectoral research and migration-sensitive data systems. What remains uncertain: Implementation will depend on country adoption, funding, governance and research capacity. Why it matters: Climate change, migration and health are no longer separate issues. They shape access to care, social determinants and emergency response.
