Climate displacement and migration, loss and damage, and the journey forward

This paper tries to break down the complicated journey of how climate displacement and migration have been handled in legal and normative frameworks, primarily looking at how the issue has been addressed within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This paper by no means attempts to be a comprehensive analysis of the situation, but rather a mere introduction into elements of the highly complex legal framework surrounding individuals vulnerable to displacement induced by climate change.
