Paperback. Climate change has emerged as a major driver of cross-border and internal displacement, posing profound challenges to existing frameworks of international law. This book provides a rigorous socio-legal examination of environmental displacement, critically assessing the extent to which current international refugee, human rights, and environmental law regimes are capable of addressing climate-induced migration.Employing doctrinal analysis supported by case studies and institutional review, the book interrogates the legal status of environmentally displaced persons and the normative gaps within the 1951 Refugee Convention and related protection mechanisms. It further examines the evolving role of international institutions, including the United Nations and UNHCR, in responding to climate-induced displacement.The book advances normative and policy-oriented recommendations for the development of an integrated legal framework that recognizes and protects environmental refugees. It is intended for scholars, advanced students, and policymakers engaged in international law, environmental governance, climate change law, and migration studies. This item is printed on demand.
