Climate Refugees
About
Founded in November 2015, Climate Refugees is independent, non-profit and created to bring attention and action to help people displaced as a result of climate change. Although used here, 'climate refugees' is not a term supported in international law. Just as the Refugee Convention protects those who are forced to flee their homes due to war, conflict and persecution, we at Climate Refugees believe the time has come to act now to ensure the international community stands ready to protect those who are forced to flee their homes or even their countries because of climate change. Our reports that identify climate change as a driver of displacement provides a human lens on climate change, documenting human rights conditions side-by-side with political, social, economic, and conflict risk analysis. We identify cases, trends, gaps and policy recommendations, which we leverage to meet with governments, the United Nations and relevant international organizations, media and corporations to advance changes in policy and practice that promote better understanding and safeguard rights and protections.
