Climate Refugees: Finding a legal solution by facing the greatest humanitarian catastrophy

The International Community is largely ignoring the problem of climate induced migration. The most affected regions of Climate Change are the least developed countries with no access to technical and financial resources. The most contribution to Climate Change is made by rich, most developed countries. When the world is not reacting in recent years on climate induced migration, we will be faced with the greatest humanitarian catastrophy.
