"Climate change, natural disasters and displacement : a multi-track approach to filling the protection gaps"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Kolmannskog Vikram | Trebbi Lisetta | septembre 2010Millions are displaced by climate-related disasters each year, and this trend is set to increase as climate change accelerates. It raises important questions about how well existing instruments actually protect people driven from their homes by climate change and natural disasters. This article first examines current protection instruments and points out gaps in them. There follows an exploration of various proposals for filling those protection gaps, with the focus on cross-border natural-disaster-induced displacement. A multi-track approach is recommended, including context-oriented and dynamic interpretation of existing law, and creation of new law. Adhering to (...)

"Turning the Tide : Recognizing Climate Change Refugees in International Law"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Williams Angela | 2008Many of the debates surrounding the environmental, social, and economic implications of climate change are now well known. However, there is increasing concern over the extent to which those suffering displacement or forced migration as a result of climate change are protected. This article seeks to highlight the plight of such individuals and suggests how the current protection gap might be remedied. Present legal structures, such as the Refugee Convention and the framework for Internally Displaced Persons (...)

"Extending refugee definition to cover environmentally displaced persons displaces necessary protection"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Moberg Kara K. | 2009The growing effects of climate change and global warming create a need for protection of environmentally displaced persons. While governments could use current international and domestic definitions of refugee to protect environmentally displaced persons, it is unlikely that any government will do so. Even if governments did extend existing refugee and asylum laws to include environmentally displaced persons [...]

"Les débats menés lors de Soixante-troisième session de l’Assemblée générale par les petits Etats insulaires sur le problème du changement climatique"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Lobry Dorothée | octobre 2008La Soixante-troisième session de l’Assemblée générale a été dominée par de vifs débats menés par les petits États insulaires à propos des changements climatiques. Ces pays, premières victimes du changement climatique qui ont mobilisé l’actualité internationale au cours des derniers mois, ont fait entendre leur voix devant l’Assemblée. Les interventions de ces nombreux pays (AG/ 10754, AG/10756) que nous allons analyser, semblent pouvoir se regrouper autour de deux réflexions essentielles. D’une part, il s’agit de la nécessaire reconnaissance de la vulnérabilité écologique des ces États et, d’autre part de la mise en relief des responsabilités face aux changements climatiques. Extrait : (...)

"Questions humanitaires et sécuritaires et le cas particulier des réfugiés climatiques"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Lobry Dorothée | janvier 2010« La Conférence de Copenhague s’est achevée par un accord politique de trois pages dénommé « Accord de Copenhague », visant à limiter l’élévation de la température, la réduction des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre et mettant en place des fonds pour les pays en développement. Si le texte final a déçu du fait qu’il ne soit pas juridiquement contraignant et qu’il n’impose pas aux Etats de mettre en place un traité pour prendre le relais du protocole de Kyoto, même imparfait, il constitue un début essentiel. En effet, l’Accord de Copenhague reconnaît le point de vue scientifique demandant à contenir l’augmentation de la température mondiale en dessous de 2 degrés, condition nécessaire (...)

« The protection of environmentally-displaced persons in international law »
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Lopez Aurélie | septembre 2007The issue of environmental degradation is broad and complex. This Article endeavors to better understand one particular aspect, namely the phenomenon of environmentally-induced migration. Cet article discute des instruments légaux de droit international susceptibles de protéger les déplacés environnementaux. Cet article revient notamment sur la notion controversée de « réfugiés environnementaux. Extrait du document : p 386 : « The 1951 Refugee Convention requires that a refugee be outside his country of origin, and accordingly does not encompass situations of internal displacement.133 In international law, there is a dichotomy between the protection afforded to (...)

"Climate change, natural disasters and human displacement : a UNHCR perspective"
Documents institutionnels | Documents de travail d’institutions | Guterres António |The process of climate change – and the multiple natural disasters it will engender – will in all certainty add to the scale and complexity of human mobility and displacement. Thus far the international community has focused primarily on the scientific aspects of climate change, with the aim of understanding the processes at play and mitigating the impact of human activity. Yet climate change is likely to pose humanitarian problems and challenges. As such it is of direct interest to humanitarian agencies, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Ce document de travail étudie les différents scénarios de déplacement, les (...)

These were political instability, economic tensions, ethnic conflict, and environmental degradation.

"Environmental Causes and Impact of Refugee Movements : A Critique of the Current Debate. "
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Kibreab Gaim | 1997The relationships between insecurity, environmental change and population displacement are discussed in this paper. It argues that environmental change and concomitant population displacement are the consequences of war and insecurity rather than triggers for it — as postulated in so much of the recent literature. Additionally, the paper critically reviews the state of knowledge concerning the impact of refugees on the environment of host countries. The aim here is not to document the negative or positive impacts as such, but rather to de-mythologise some aspects of the state of knowledge which through repetition have become accepted as ‘scientific (...)
