One of the most significant impacts of climate change is migration.
Yet, to date, climate-induced migrants are falling within what has
been defined by some as a 'protection gap'. This book addresses
this issue, first by identifying precisely where the gap exists, by
reviewing the relevant legal tools that are available for those who
are currently, and who will in the future be displaced because of
climate change. The authors then address the relevant actors; the
identity of those deserving protection (displaced individuals), as
well as other bearers of rights (migration-hosting states) and
obligations (polluting states). The authors also address head-on
the contentious topic of definitions, concluding with the
provocative assertion that the term 'climate refugees' is indeed
correct and should be relied upon. The second part of the book
looks to the future by advocating specific legal and institutional
pathways. Notably, the authors support the use of international
environmental law as the most adequate and suitable regime for the
regulation of climate refugees. With respect to the role of
institutions, the authors propose a model of 'cross-governance',
through which a more inclusive and multi-faceted protection regime
could be achieved. Addressing the regulation of climate refugees
through a unique collaboration between a refugee lawyer and an
environmental lawyer, this book will be of great interest to
scholars and professionals in fields including international law,
environmental studies, refugee studies and international relations.
