Research Handbook on Climate Change, Migration and the Law (Research Handbooks in Climate Law series) - Hardcover
Concerns have arisen in recent decades about the impact of climate change on human mobility. Many people affected by climate change are forced or otherwise decide to migrate within or across international borders. Despite its clear importance, many questions remain open regarding the nature of the climate-migration nexus and its implications for laws and institutions. In the face of such uncertainty, this Research Handbook offers a comprehensive picture of laws and institutions relevant to climate migration and the multiple, often contradictory perspectives on the topic.
Carefully edited chapters by leading scholars in the field provide a cross section of the various debates on what laws do, can do and should do in relation to the impacts of climate change on migration. A first part analyses the relations between climate change and migration. A second part explores how existing laws and institutions address the climate-migration nexus. In the final part, the chapters discuss possible ways forward.
This timely Research Handbook provides much-needed insight into this complex issue for graduate and post-graduate students in climate change or migration law. It will also appeal to students and scholars in political science, international relations, environmental studies and migration studies, as well as policymakers and advocates.

Review:
'The breadth and depth this book brings to the legal issues surrounding climate-related displacement and migration are simply unmatched. The contributors explain the conceptual difficulties in identifying ''climate migrants,'' analyze the weaknesses in the current legal and institutional framework, identify gaps, and propose innovative solutions. The volume should be read by everyone interested in the topic, from those learning about it for the first time to policymakers trying to address one of the most difficult challenges climate change poses.'
--John H. Knox, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment and Wake Forest University, School of Law, US
'While many publications on the climate change-migration nexus present a specific and oftentimes narrow approach to this topic, Mayer and Crépeau succeed in bringing together a wealth of different and sometimes contradicting perspectives. The Research Handbook is a comprehensive and thought-provoking collection of high-quality contributions and thus essential reading for everyone interested in the current state of art in a field that addresses one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.'
