ABSTRACT

The phenomenon of climate change is rapidly reshaping the global landscape, causing environmental disruptions and exacerbating the vulnerabilities of communities worldwide. One of the profound consequences of climate change is the emergence of climate refugees, individuals or groups forced to flee their homes due to the adverse impacts of climate-related events. The phenomenon of climate-induced migration has resulted in the emergence of a new category of displaced individuals known as climate refugees. As the adverse impacts of climate change continue to escalate, it becomes increasingly crucial to address the challenges and implications associated with these displaced populations. This abstract explores the need for the recognition of the concept of climate refugees from both legal and humanitarian perspectives. The abstract then focuses on the existing legal frameworks and international policies governing climate refugees. It highlights the inadequacies and fragmentation of these frameworks, pointing out the lack of a clear definition and internationally recognized status for climate refugees. The resulting difficulties faced by climate refugees in accessing rights and support are emphasized. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the abstract calls for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to addressing climate-induced migration. It emphasizes the need to strengthen legal and policy frameworks to provide better protection and assistance to climate refugees. International cooperation and solidarity are deemed essential for offering financial and technical support to affected countries and communities. the abstract underscores the importance of mitigation and adaptation efforts to reduce the scale and severity of displacement. It emphasizes the need for immediate action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable development, and enhance the resilience of vulnerable communities. This abstract highlights the pressing need for the recognition of climate refugees both legally and from a humanitarian standpoint. It emphasizes the challenges and implications associated with climate-induced migration and underscores the importance of a comprehensive response involving legal reforms, international cooperation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. Recognizing climate refugees as a distinct and vulnerable group is crucial for ensuring their protection and creating a more just and sustainable future. Climate change is primarily caused by global factors and has far-reaching implications that extend beyond national boundaries. This abstract explores the causes of climate change and their relationship to climate-induced migration, highlighting the international nature of both phenomena. The abstract identify the main causes of climate change, focusing on global factors originating from human activities. It highlights the release of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), into the atmosphere as a result of activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, agricultural practices, and industrial processes. These emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to an increase in global temperatures. The abstract emphasizes that climate change is predominantly caused by global factors and has profound implications that extend beyond national boundaries. It highlights the relationship between climate change and climate-induced migration, underscoring the international nature of both phenomena. The abstract emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and action in addressing the causes of climate change, mitigating its impacts, and supporting climate refugees. Recognizing the global nature of climate change is crucial for developing effective strategies to combat it and to ensure the well-being of affected populations and the sustainability of our planet.
