摘要

This article investigates the emerging global challenge of climate refugees, individuals displaced by climate-induced phenomena such as sea-level rise, land degradation, and extreme weather events. The study addresses the legal, social, and cultural uncertainties surrounding climate-induced migration, focusing particularly on the lack of formal recognition under current international refugee frameworks. Using an interdisciplinary methodology that combines legal analysis, sociological inquiry, and empirical case studies, the authors examine the vulnerabilities climate refugees face, including legal exclusion, identity loss, and social marginalisation. The article also explores the socio-economic and political pressures host countries experience due to large-scale climate migration, such as competition for resources, cultural tensions, and political instability. Emphasis is placed on identity-based conflicts and the rise of xenophobic narratives in response to demographic shifts. The authors argue for the development of flexible legal and policy instruments, including regional frameworks and soft-law mechanisms, to address normative gaps. The article further highlights the crucial role of social work in providing psychosocial support and promoting rights-based integration strategies. Overall, the study calls for a polycentric, justice-oriented response to climate-induced displacement, underpinned by cooperative governance and strengthened international norms.
