Abstract
"Among the many concerns raised by the phenomenon of climate change, the likelihood of mass population displacement is among the most pressing and worrisome. For small island states such as Tuvalu, the reality of land loss is already apparent. As to the broader phenomenon of climate-related migration, even conservative figures are daunting. However, there has been relatively little substantive discussion of this crucial issue at the international level, and there is as yet no clear international policy direction for addressing a problem of potentially immense magnitude." (p.1) "Rather than providing a chronological account of these discussions, this report rather gleans and summarizes common themes under [...]: 1. Terminology 2. A climate refugee regime (new or amended). 3. Collective and individual rights 4. States’ obligations (national and extraterritorial) 5. Best practices/lessons learned (participation, transparency, ownership) 6. Suggested strategies for further action (local, national, international levels)" (p.3)
