This thesis examines the emerging issue of climate-induced displacement and the potential entitlement to asylum for individuals affected by climate change. It aims to analyze the causal correlation between climate change and migration, considering its consequences for receiving countries and their legal systems. The work focuses on the ethical justification for asylum for climate refugees, specifically using John Rawls' theory of "justice as fairness" to assess the obligation of states towards these individuals.
The introduction sets the stage by establishing the relevance of climate change and migration as a pressing international issue. It delves into the problem formulation, highlighting the increasing global awareness and activism surrounding climate change. The chapter explores the existing state of research on climate-induced displacement and the recent landmark ruling by the UN Human Rights Committee on the deportation of climate migrants. It underscores the topical relevance of the issue and outlines the scientific approach employed in the thesis.
Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between climate change and migration. It delves into the historical and conceptual understanding of climate refugees, discussing their legal status under international law. The chapter further identifies hotspots for climate-induced displacement, examining specific regions such as island nations, tropical coasts, and the Sahel.
Chapter 3 introduces John Rawls' conception of justice, focusing on his theory of "justice as fairness". It explores the principles of justice outlined by Rawls, the concept of the "original position," and his "law of people." This chapter lays the theoretical foundation for analyzing the ethical justification for climate asylum in the subsequent chapters.
Chapter 4 examines the issue of justice for climate refugees through the lens of Rawls' theory. It assesses whether the claim to asylum due to persecution through human-induced climate change can be considered a "just claim". The chapter analyzes the implications of Rawls' principles of justice and explores the potential for incorporating climate asylum laws into the "original position."
This thesis focuses on climate change, forced migration, climate refugees, asylum, justice, John Rawls, justice as fairness, international law, human rights, and the obligation of states. It explores the ethical and legal dimensions of climate-induced displacement and its implications for global governance and the future of international refugee law.
