The slow onset effects of Climate Change and Human Rights Protection for cross-border migrants

There is now widespread recognition that the impacts of climate change adversely affect the enjoyment of human rights. There is also increasing interest in the connection between climate change and human mobility, and the role human rights law plays in addressing this connection. In this study, OHCHR in collaboration with the Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) seek to advance understanding of the connection between the slow onset adverse effects of climate change, human rights, and the cross-border movement of people in order to promote informed actions to protect the rights of those affected.
