Uncharted Waters: Exploring Judicial Avenues for Climate Displaced Communities

This report is the second in a series of three reports addressing judicial aspects of the struggle to secure justice for climate displaced persons everywhere. This series is designed to provide practical support to those forced to flee their homes because of the effects of climate change and to human rights practitioners seeking pathways to justice.

These three reports are part of a range of activities by Displacement Solutions marking the 10-year anniversary of the Peninsula Principles on Climate Displacement Within States. The urgency and relevance of these principles in our current climate crisis context are more pronounced than ever. Since their adoption in August 2013, the escalating impacts of climate change – from severe weather events to rising sea levels – have increasingly led to widespread displacement across the globe.
