Climate & dISPLACEMENT
Jane McAdam and Chiara Scissa, EJIL:TALK! (Nov. 2024)
"It is therefore vital that lawyers, government officials and judges clearly appreciate when, how and why international protection principles apply in the context of climate change and disasters. This means understanding, first, how the impacts of climate change and disasters interact with other drivers of movement to create or exacerbate risk and vulnerability, and secondly, how their impacts can be felt differently by different people, depending on their individual characteristics and circumstances.
Accordingly, the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at UNSW Sydney in Australia – together with the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) at UC Law San Francisco in the United States and Essex Law School and Human Rights Centre in the United Kingdom, and with the support of UNHCR – will soon be releasing a practical toolkit to provide such guidance."
