Abstract

The purpose of this article is to probe the possible legal remedy under the framework of international for refugees caused by climate change damage. After analyzing the issue from the perspective of international refugee law, international human rights law, and the law of transboundary damage, this article concludes that although the existing legal system may provide some remedy for climate change refugees, it is no well-equipped to solve the whole problem. The best approach to cope with this problem is to devise an innovative legal instrument that is elaborately tailored to climate change refugees.
