Abstract

Our failure to tackle climate change has resulted in disastrous scenarios. One of these scenarios is unprecedent human displacement. As environmental degradation erodes arable land, rising seas swallow Pacific islands, and increasingly frequent cyclones tear homes apart, people's livelihoods are undermined, communities are uprooted, and people are displaced. Climate displacement is transforming the dynamics of displacement as it takes on new moral and political meaning and presents itself as a pressing moral challenge for our time; one that Jamie Draper ambitiously takes up in Climate Displacement: a seminal book that maps out the moral challenge of climate displacement, offering well-formulated normative principles for addressing it.
