This book explores what a just response to the risk of climate change displacement in the Pacific could look like.

'There is no international legal protection for the climate dispossessed.' The world is heating up beyond the capacity of some countries to cope. Entire populations of Pacific islands are threatened, jeopardising the sovereign rights of these countries and the security of the region.

By Teall Crossen
