ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, a range of solutions has been offered by academics to address climate-related mobility problems. While some scholars find solutions to the conundrum of climate-related mobility within the existing legal framework, such as by extending the 1951 Refugee Convention or adopting an additional protocol to the UNFCCC, some academics prefer creating a new treaty to support those facing climate-related migration and displacement problems. This chapter reviews the academic literature in this field and provides a brief overview of suggestions and debates on the protection of people likely to be displaced by climate change.
