Summary

Much ink has been spilled by scholars,1 including the present author,2 on displacement associated with climate change, popularly called ‘climate refugees’, recognising the need to address the protection gap relating to them. Despite the recognition in the very first report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that climate change could cause forced displacement of millions of people,3 climate negotiators have been slow (and reluctant) to address the issue.
