Summary

There still is insufficient appreciation of climate displacement as a contemporary and pressing threat to the lives and livelihoods of people. Coping with climate change critically reviews the link between the human rights system and climate displacement. It examines the imperatives of human rights protection, the role of adopting a human rights-based approach as a coping catalyst, and recent developments in the area of strategic climate change litigation. Drawing on the Peninsula Principles on climate displacement within States, which where elaborated and adopted by a drafting committee of experts and practitioners in 2013, the chapter assesses concrete coping instruments such as planned relocation and National Climate Land Banks.
