| dc.description.abstract | In November 2024, at COP29, Nauru launched the ‘Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program’ (NECRCP), becoming the first Pacific Island state to explicitly link a citizenship-by-investment (CBI) program with climate adaptation finance. With fees starting at US$105,000 for a single applicant, NECRCP presents citizenship both as a mobile asset and as a financing tool for coastal restoration, water security, and environmental recovery. This In Brief draws on early insights from my PhD research on investor-citizenship in the Pacific region, focusing on structural and symbolic factors rather than personal motivations. NECRCP serves as a pilot study showing how island states reshape citizenship programs under pressures of climate risk and economic instability | |
