Abstract

In recent years, thousands of people have been displaced due to natural disasters and of climate change. However, the issue is not addressed by international law or policy. Natural disasters should be granted eligibility for the benefits set out legislation on status of refugees. Migration policies should clearly account for environmental factors triggering mobility, with the aim of protecting environmental migrants and responding to their needs. This paper offers a prospective basis for legal policy in this area and about the question of how regulate international migration in the context of natural disasters and of climate change.
