Summary

In the past decade, United Nations multilateral frameworks dedicated to finding solutions to the defining issues of our times have increasingly included issues of migration in the context of climate change. The topic is now widely discussed in forums dedicated to climate change, migration governance, sustainable development, and disaster risk reduction.1 Since the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the adoption of the Paris Climate Change Agreement in 2015, there has been a clear increase in states’ political interest in climate change and migration issues, leading to extensive policy discussions on what states can do to anticipate and manage this specific type of movement.
