The article comments that current climate-change initiatives have not sufficiently addressed current and future migration impacts. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) can only indirectly be considered as addressing this problem. The author believes that it is imperative for States to perceive migration not as a threat but rather an an opportunity for the migrants, their country of origin and their country of destination. The article addresses strategies for mitigating the climate-change induced migration of peoples, including the prevention of migration by taking proactive measures to stop climate change and organizing migration in the worst-case scenario where mass evacuation of effective regions would become a necessity.
