In this regard, there are people who can no longer gain a secure livelihood in their homelands because of different ecological phenomena, including climate change. These people have to seek shelter from the bad effect of climate change elsewhere, in spite of the hazardous nature of the attempt. In this context, the new definition applicable to such persons is emerging. The reality is that despite the very real nature of the problem, climate change displacement raises more questions than the international community is likely to agree on solving. Keeping this in mind, the present paper examines different perspectives of the definition, applicable international legal framework and proposals on possible means of filling the protection gaps.

The significance of international legal responsibility issue is based on the fact that it is a necessary legal mean for compliance of actors’ behavior with international law. Among the huge number of international agreements only a few treaties deal with the question of hazardous waste treatment and even less number of them establish any proper regime of liability. The authors examine the existing rules enshrined in these conventions explicitly concerning the question of liability. Moreover, the possibility to claim compensation for environmental damage through themechanism of states responsibility is considered. In this regard there is need to elaborate the liability regimes protecting the environment and people’s lives, not the economic interest of the states.
