Description

It is widely recognized that climate change will contribute to human migration. This chapter highlights aspects of the growing empirical literature on human mobility and climate change relevant to law and policy. Then it examines the gaps in protections available to persons who move for reasons related to climate change, and proposals to address these gaps. It concludes by identifying directions for future legal and policy research that reflect some of the themes in the empirical literature on climate change and migration.
