In the Asia-Pacific region, climate change is an important factor to consider on the exacerbation of issues such as violence against women that often co-occur with forced and voluntary migration to migrant-seeking nations such as Australia that has responsibility in collaborating with its neighbours to ameliorate their conditions, but the country also sees such collaborations as strategical moves for its local ambitions. Academics in these spaces should be aware of their positionality and of the risks of such exercise becoming a neocolonial movement fostering inequality and exploitation instead of collaboration and shared knowledge. This chapter presents the authors’ reflections on regional partnerships in research and funding schemes which aim to support gender-responsive solutions to climate change and the role of community psychology in this space. The authors reflect upon how research and practice in this space can be carried out ethically, mindful of colonial histories and power imbalances, to reach horizontal collaboration through humility. The authors propose three key considerations to advance these partnerships in the region: dismantling colonial relations, building solidarity and cross-cultural collaboration and applying intersectional lenses not only to the research topic but also to the interpersonal and institutional relations in the research team.
