Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Gabby Crooks’ capstone project aims to interrogate how the issue of climate migration has been approached at the international level and how treaty bodies like the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Human Rights Committee have litigated this issue. She notes that while climate-induced migration has become increasingly relevant to the discourse surrounding the global climate crisis and migration worldwide, still, climate refugees are not a protected class according to international law, particularly in looking at the Refugee Convention. This project further analyzes case studies on climate-induced migration, in addition to looking to the future to see where climate-induced migration can be protected, especially as the climate crisis accelerates at a concerning pace, impacting millions of marginalized individuals globally.
