Description
This book explores the possibilities of understanding the concept of climate refugees in order to ascribe to a consensual agreement that climate refugees are evident and this situation is a reality.
A framework to study both empirically and theoretically is presented in a detailed manner so that it may become a resource for understanding the challenges of climate refugees.
Through discussion and analysis the book presents potential answers to such questions as:
Why has the international system been so short-sighted and has not given importance to the problems of climate migrants and refugees?
How to identify a climate refugee?
How do you justify a climate refugee or a migrant?
What are internally displaced people? Should we call them just refugees?
The book covers the interdisciplinary nature of climate refugees and the perspectives of social science. The empirical findings provides an edge to holistically understanding climate refugees.
This book discusses the concept of, what really is a climate refugee, and the necessary factors to make it an important part of the climate discourse. The legality of the term is missing in international parlance, and the academic discourse should provide the necessary critique required for the evolution of the subject under study. Therefore, the major objective of the book is to make the subject of climate migration known to all.
