Climate Migration Law

Jacob Smith

Translator A AI

Summary

Climate change is causing widespread displacement, and Climate Migration Law tackles the urgent legal and policy questions arising from this phenomenon. The book examines whether current international and national laws adequately protect climate migrants, especially considering the limitations of the 1951 Refugee Convention. It further explores the complexities of planned relocation, including the rights of displaced communities and the responsibilities of governments.

One intriguing fact is that environmental migrants often don't fit traditional refugee definitions because they flee gradual environmental degradation rather than direct persecution. The book analyzes these issues across three core areas: legal frameworks, planned relocation, and governance. It investigates potential legal pathways for climate migrants, the ethical considerations of resettlement, and the international agreements needed for effective migration management.

Case studies illustrate the challenges faced by vulnerable regions, like low-lying islands and arid areas. The book argues for a new or significantly adapted legal and policy framework to safeguard the rights of climate migrants and promote sustainable adaptation. Starting with the science behind climate-induced migration, the book progresses through an analysis of relevant laws and culminates in policy recommendations.

It draws on diverse sources, including legal instruments, policy documents, and interviews with experts and affected communities. Ultimately, it seeks to offer practical guidance for policymakers and advocates working to address climate displacement in a just and sustainable manner.

A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

Rebecca Schiller

It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
 
 
 
Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
 
 
 
In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
