New resource:
- "As the impacts of climate change and disasters affect the displacement of people worldwide, decision-makers and practitioners are increasingly being called upon to assess whether those displaced across international borders in this context are entitled to international protection. To assist with this task, this Practical Toolkit provides principled guidance on the interpretation and application of international and regional refugee and human rights law to international protection claims involving climate change and disasters. [It] does not seek to extend the scope of international protection under refugee or human rights law, but rather explains how climate change and disasters can contribute to establishing the factual basis for international protection under existing legal frameworks."
- Follow the a/m link to access the full toolkit and an overview of it. See also related post on The Conversation.
- Online briefings are scheduled for 14, 19 & 25 February 2025 to introduce the toolkit and answer questions - scroll to the bottom of this page for more details and registration links.
