53rd Session ofthe Human Rights Council Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on human rights and climate change

The Center for International Environmental Law asserts that current legal frameworks are insufficient to protect people moving due to climate change, though States remain bound by existing human rights obligations, including non-refoulement. Citing the IPCC, the statement argues that involuntary migration can be reduced through international cooperation and calls for increased climate finance from developed States, specifically for loss and damage.

• The existing legal framework fails to offer sufficient protection for individuals forced to move because of climate change, although States are still required to uphold fundamental human rights and the principle of non-refoulement for these populations.
