Abstract: | Climate change is now a global challenge and climate refugees are one of the prime stakeholders to who face the brunt of it. Apart from being legally unrecognized, the climate refugees are also socially and culturally affected from their untimely displacement. While analysing the international human rights conventions/ treaties, the authors have established how these conventions/treaties can be interpreted for protecting the social and cultural rights of the climate refugees. This article also focuses on exploring ways to safeguard the human rights of people affected during such times of crisis. The article further elaborates on this issue by narrating a case study of the climate refugees residing in the Sundarban Delta (West Bengal, India). |
