Climate refugees and their 'refugee' status
by Kunal Kanodia
International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies (IJHRCS), Vol. 5, No. 2, 2017

Abstract: This article explores the manner in which the growing problem of climate refugees poses a significant legal, social and ethical challenge to international humanitarian law. It takes note of the obligations of the Global North, and takes into account different humanitarian and legal arguments that have been acknowledged by national courts. It goes on to talk about legal obligations to deal with climate change in the Netherlands, and what this means for climate refugees. It proposes solutions, and emphasises the necessity of a synthetical approach to accommodate climate refugees.
