Every year, more than 30 million people flee their villages, regions or countries because of climate change. By 2050, it’s estimated there will be between 200 million and 1 billion climate refugees. As extreme weather continues to threaten the lives of hundreds of millions of people, how can the world best respond?

Faced with these forced migrations, the international community seems incapable of agreeing on defining new protections and compensation. Currently there is no clear definition of a "climate refugee", and climate refugees are not covered by the 1951 Refugee Convention. Complicating matters further is a wave of populist political movements that vilify these migrants to justify the closing of borders.

But, in the absence of a cogent global response, the countries and regions most affected by the climate change/migration problem are taking the initiative. CLIMATE REFUGEES: A Global Challenge explores these challenges through the prism of individual human stories and innovative initiatives in Asia, the Pacific and Latin America. In the long term, they could become models for change well beyond their borders.
