Overview

Forced migration is the displacement of people from their region of origin due to circumstances beyond their control, such as war, persecution, armed conflicts, violence, human rights violations, or natural disasters. Climate refugees are a subset of this phenomenon and refer to people who are forced to leave their homes due to extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, prolonged droughts, or sea-level rise. These climate changes can destroy livelihoods, make habitable areas unsafe, and lead to shortages of basic resources, forcing people to seek refuge elsewhere. The increase in extreme weather conditions due to climate change linked to pollution and global warming is contributing to a rise in the number of climate refugees worldwide, presenting significant challenges for the international community in terms of protection and assistance to these vulnerable populations. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
