Climate Change already having serious impacts on the lives of millions of people across the world. These impacts are not only ecological, but also social, economic and legal. Among the most significant of such impacts is climate change-induced migration. The implications of this on human rights raise pressing questions, which require serious scholarly reflection. Drawing together experts in this field, Climate Change, Migration and Human Rights offers a fresh perspective on human rights law and policy issues in the climate change regime by examining the interrelationships between various aspects of human rights, climate change and migration. Three key themes are explored: understanding the concepts of human dignity, human rights and human security; the theoretical nexus between human rights, climate change and migration or displacement; and the practical implications and challenges for lawyers and policy-makers of protecting human dignity in the face of climate change and displacement. The book also includes a series of case studies from Alaska, Bangladesh, Kenya and the Pacific islands which aim to improve our understanding of the theoretical and practical implications of climate change for human rights and migration.This book will be of great interest to scholars of environmental law and policy, human rights law, climate change, and migration and refugee studies.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Forward-looking and innovative, Elgar Research Agendas are an essential resource for PhD students, scholars and anybody who wants to be at the forefront of research.This timely Research Agenda provides both an introduction to the field of disaster law and a detailed critique of current debates in law and practice. It analyses legal rights and obligations against the background of devastating impacts of natural and human-made hazards, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and pandemics.International experts delineate the boundaries of disaster law, exploring its intersections with international law and politics while fostering an improved understanding to help minimise risks. They identify key priorities and knowledge gaps covering topics such as disaster ethics, the use of technology, human rights, and regional legal frameworks. This Research Agenda maps the terrain of environmental destruction, assesses the root causes of disasters, and identifies those most vulnerable in crises. It also addresses how climate change exacerbates extreme weather events, examining the aftermath and legal implications of these in a way that sheds light on the most resilient path forward.Indicating avenues for future academic enquiry, this Research Agenda is a crucial resource for scholars and students of law and development, international law, and environmental law, governance and regulation. It also provides actionable insights for disaster and humanitarian practitioners and policymakers.

International Legal Protection of Persons in Humanitarian Crises
Exploring the Acquis Humanitaire

The instinctual desire to support those in need, irrespective of geographic, cultural or religious links, is both facilitated and overwhelmed by the extent of information now available about the multiple humanitarian crises which occur on a daily basis around the world. Behind the images of devastating floods and earthquakes, or massive forced displacements resulting from armed conflicts, is the all too real suffering faced by individuals and families. From the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami to the on-going conflict in Syria, recent years have seen an increasing debate regarding the international legal mechanisms to protect persons in such humanitarian crises.The International Legal Protection of Persons in Humanitarian Crises argues that an acquis humanitaire is identifiable through the interconnected web of existing and emerging international, regional and national laws, policies and practices for the protection of persons caught up in humanitarian crises. Indeed, the humanitarian imperative to alleviate suffering wherever it may be found permeates various branches of international law, and is reflected in the extensive humanitarian activities undertaken by States and other actors in times of armed conflict, population displacement and disaster. Dug Cubie argues that by clarifying the conceptual framework and normative content of the acquis humanitaire, gaps and lacunae can be identified and the overall protection of persons strengthened.
