37th & The World: Bridging the Legal Gap for "Climate Refugees"
As climate change escalates, millions of people are projected to be displaced in the coming decades. However, the people displaced in the context of climate change and natural disasters, colloquially known as “climate refugees,” currently lack formal recognition and protection under international law. To address this gap and explore potential solutions for an international legal framework for climate refugees, GJIA welcomes attorney Caitlan M. Sussman, who spoke about her 2023 article, “A Global Migration Framework Under Water: How Can the International Community Protect Climate Refugees?” All opinions expressed during this interview are the author’s own and do not reflect the views of any past or present employer.
