The Paris Agreement on climate refugees
The Paris Agreement is an international pact aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. While it focuses on limiting global warming, it also recognizes that climate change can force people to leave their homes—becoming climate refugees—due to rising sea levels, droughts, and disasters. Although it doesn’t establish specific legal protections for these refugees, the agreement encourages countries to prepare for and address displacement caused by climate impacts. Its goal is to promote cooperation in climate adaptation and resilience, helping vulnerable populations, and working toward fair solutions for those displaced by environmental changes.
