Summary
This chapter explores the relationship between climate change, displacement, and the right to mental health. It builds on a significant body of research that has explored the history of environment-induced migration,1 the influence of climate change on migration patterns,2 and projections about future climate change-induced migration.3 Amongst other things, this research establishes that migration in the context of climate change is ‘a complex, multicausal phenomenon’, and the impacts of climate change often contribute to a ‘cluster of causes that lead to migration’.
