This is referred to as the <strong>protection gap<\/strong>. This will act as a humanitarian challenge as there are <strong>no legal frameworks <\/strong>to protect climate refugees.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What are the current laws?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The <strong>Geneva Convention on Refugees<\/strong> applies only to political applicants and climate refugees are not included in it.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Nansen Initiative<\/strong> is a voluntary non-binding framework. It has been adopted by some states but applies only to cross-border movements associated with disasters. It does not include displacement caused by global warming.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What will be the concerns for climate refugees?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Climate refugees moving to another country will face hurdles of crossing borders, security, healthcare and other basic amenities.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the countries they are moving to have their own problems and it would be difficult for those countries to look after those refugees.<\/p>\n<p>Some people will not be able to move due to extreme poverty, disability, gender, cultural norms, etc. They will be a <strong>trapped population<\/strong> and the most affected people due to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, there is a need for the world to look into the issue and those responsible must pay for it.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Who can pay for climate change?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Industrialised countries and fossil fuel companies are the greatest emitters and they have a larger responsibility to help climate refugees. The <strong>loss and damage mechanism<\/strong> adopted at CoP 27 is one of the efforts to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, those who generated the problem should contribute to a fund and compensate to help climate refugees and\u00a0an international framework is needed to protect them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: The post is based on the article\u00a0\u201cClimate justice means rich nations helping migrants\u201d published in The Times of India\u00a0on\u00a026th November 2022.
