Climate Change, Forced Migration, and International Law

Discover the critical insights in "Climate Change, Forced Migration, and International Law" by Jane McAdam, published by Oxford University Press in 2013. This comprehensive study delves into the pressing issue of whether 'climate change refugees' receive adequate protection under international law. Spanning 344 pages, McAdam explores the complex reasons behind human migration, assessing the extent to which climate change acts as a catalyst for displacement. The book critically evaluates traditional international responses, questioning the effectiveness of creating new treaties and institutions to address this urgent challenge. Ideal for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of climate change and human rights, this work is essential for understanding the legal landscape surrounding forced migration in our changing world.
