ABSTRACT
The term “climate migration” or “internally displaced persons” have been here for some, time thought not the recognition it deserves and the outlook of safety, security or protection. Yet in this day and age the turmoil, destruction that follows with it, is now more then ever, has become an issue within the walls of international institutions. The slow- onset relation of climate change on the impact on migration has become more of a permanent status with the rapid growing of the increase of weather changes, rising of sea-levels, engulfing of coastal areas, extreme weathers, the migration of fishes in some African regions to the north pole. These disasters, have become more permanent. Some areas have become life-threatening to the rural livelihood, which has created scare resources, and establishing completion over the scarce resources amongst varied communities.
Mass migration at such increasing rate has been taking place every day, and the has been predicated of huge numbers, the mass stressors of climate change creates mass destruction in terms of “climate events” and “climate dividers” now there is no hesitation that migration has existed amongst our civilization, but in recent terms, climate change and its adverse effects have created, within this study we outline the limitation of international laws and the need and hour of acknowledging the chaos that is being established, we will also analyze and highlight the reaction of nation-states to such vulnerable communities, how many ‘migrants’ in the given terms of climate-induced disaster ? where do these ‘migrants ‘ stand within the international community? And most importantly, what laws will they be governing and how will they be looked upon by the legal community.?
There is no hesitation to the fact that ‘climate migrants’ will indeed create a whole new legal pandora box, that the international communities concerned will have to look upon, as of now within this study we will notice the numbers predicated of huge increasing displacement done none other, then the stressor of ‘climate change’ the numbers will also be displayed with great emphasis to the current migration taking place and its impact.
