The Dark Face of Climate Change: Climate Refugees.pdf (original) (raw)

Climate change represents a significant threat to human survival, with a profound impact on human mobility. As climate change intensifies, millions are forced to migrate, creating a reciprocal relationship between environmental changes and population movement. While the term 'climate refugees' is commonly used, it lacks legal recognition under international law, leaving a protection gap for those affected. This paper discusses existing legal frameworks, highlights the rights refugees possess, and proposes solutions to enhance the protection of individuals displaced by climate change.
