Climate Change, Disasters and the Refugee Convention is concerned
with refugee status determination (RSD) in the context of disasters
and climate change. It demonstrates that the legal predicament of
people who seek refugee status in this connection has been
inconsistently addressed by judicial bodies in leading refugee law
jurisdictions, and identifies epistemological as well as doctrinal
impediments to a clear and principled application of international
refugee law. Arguing that RSD cannot safely be performed without a
clear understanding of the relationship between natural hazards and
human agency, the book draws insights from disaster anthropology
and political ecology that see discrimination as a contributory
cause of people's differential exposure and vulnerability to
disaster-related harm. This theoretical framework, combined with
insights derived from the review of existing doctrinal and judicial
approaches, prompts a critical revision of the dominant human
rights-based approach to the refugee definition.
