Abstract

It is undeniable that South Asian cross-border climate-induced population movement is a reality, and State actors cannot deny, avoid, or sidestep this dire crisis. If the habitual home becomes uninhabitable and the right to life comes under existential threat with no alternative quality options, people are obliged to move to save their lives. Therefore, this Article suggests adopting a nonbinding legal framework in South Asia with consideration of all barriers and challenges, along with the note that at an international level less hope is left to adopt a protection mechanism for cross-border climate-induced population movement.
