ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the relative absence of the human rights community in the politics of climate change and human mobility. It explores the limited spaces where human rights has been used as perspective through which to approach these two linked phenomena, before considering some of the particular complexities of the links between human mobility and climate change. The chapter discusses alternative narratives that are more prevalent in conceptualizing climate change and human mobility before considering potential entry points for human rights into the discourse. It outlines two of the alternative narratives that have instead come to the forefront of discussions: resilience and migration management. The potential of human rights as a counterpoint to logics of resilience should also be tied in to the broader context of how human rights are being mobilized at the international level. The chapter concludes with a call to the human rights community for more involvement in the politics of climate change and human mobility.
