Climate change: Laws and policies must change to prevent future statelessness, says Australian and UN joint report
Australia and other nations should amend laws and practices to deal with millions of people who are expected to move because of climate-related hazards, according to a new report by the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The report, Global Recommendations on Nationality and Statelessness in the Context of Climate Change, was written by Associate Professor Govil, of the Peter McMullin Centre at Melbourne Law School, with UNHCR’s Anne Laakko and Michelle Yonetani.
