This article considers how climate change law, global politics, and governance structures facilitate and sustain economic and social insecurity. Climate change itself targets existing environmental and social vulnerabilities and creates additional pressures on communities already subject to vast degrees of inequity. However, the legal framework developed in response to climate change is increasingly causing concern regarding the extent to which it similarly sustains inequity and insecurity for those most vulnerable. Climate change displacement is considered as a case study scenario to highlight the difficulties faced in creating an adequate and effective legal response that acts to remedy existing insecurity, rather than further sustaining it. Both the way in which ineffectual climate change law fosters insecurity, and the extent to which law creates the structural conditions for insecurity, are examined.

Many of the debates surrounding the environmental, social, and economic implications of climate change are now well known. However, there is increasing concern over the extent to which those suffering displacement or forced migration as a result of climate change are protected. This article seeks to highlight the plight of such individuals and suggests how the current protection gap might be remedied. Present legal structures, such as the Refugee Convention and the framework for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), prove largely inadequate having been constructed for different purposes and being limited in their application. The alternative proposed in this article is a regionally oriented regime operating under the auspices of the UN Climate Change Framework. While both the Climate Change Convention and the Kyoto Protocol currently call for regional cooperation in respect of adaptation activities, it is argued there should be an explicit recognition of so‐called climate change refugees in the post‐Kyoto agreement that allows for, and facilitates, the development of regional programs to address the problem. Employing such a strategy would remedy the current protection gap that exists within the international legal system, while allowing states to respond and engage with climate change displacement in the most regionally appropriate manner.
