Carbon evictions - The UK’s role in forced migration of climate refugees.

Carbon Evictions presents evidence that our reliance on dirty and outmoded forms of economic growth, including ever expanding air traffic and coal-fired power plants, is posing the threat of worldwide evictions. It is the world’s poor who are most vulnerable to displacement from climate-related disasters. In this report, WDM argues that action now to create a low-carbon economy in the UK could prevent millions of future ‘climate refugees’. Carbon Evictions also calls for a new international agreement within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, to set out the obligations of rich countries towards climate refugees; including enabling those who are forced to migrate due to climatic disasters to resettle in their territories.
