Official estimates put the future scale of human displacement as a
result of climate change at anywhere from 150 million to one
billion people. Despite this crisis in the making, few countries or
international institutions are adequately prepared to address and
resolve this emerging human rights crisis. This compilation brings
together fifty-one of the leading texts on climate change and
displacement. It provides a consolidated source and substantive
overview of the key issues relating to climate change and
displacement, including: the reality of climate displacement; the
shape of current and proposed international law on this matter; the
institutional and governance framework that will address and
respond to this crisis; and an analysis of what a cross-section of
governments and civil society organizations are already doing to
prepare for and act against climate displacement. This volume is an
indispensable resource for academics researching this issue,
community and international advocates, officials of the United
Nations and international human rights and humanitarian
organizations; national and municipal governments as well as all
people concerned about the human rights of climate displaced
persons throughout the world.
