By 2050, there will be an estimated 150 million climate refugees, forced to
leave their homes by droughts, extreme weather patterns and sea level rise.
There is no international law designed to protect their needs.
EJF talked to President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives and Premier Talagi of Niue about how climate change is affecting their countries.
The Environmental Justice Foundation is a UK charity working internationally to protect the natural environment and human rights, campaigning for reductions in greenhouse gases, and calling for international protection for climate refugees.
We believe that that there needs to be a legally-binding, international Protocol that identifies and protects these people displaced from their homes by deteriorating
environmental conditions.
