La recherche collective dont cet ouvrage est le fruit s’est donné pour ambition de cerner les implications juridiques de l’adaptation des territoires aux changements climatiques. L’équipe s’est appuyée sur l’exemple de l’île de La Réunion pour s’interroger sur les traductions juridiques du discours politique résultant de la COP 21 qui consistait, tout à la fois, à mettre l’accent sur l’adaptation aux effets des changements climatiques et non plus seulement sur l’atténuation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, à décentraliser les politiques climatiques de manière à les faire correspondre aux spécificités locales, à adopter une approche transversale de la vulnérabilité des territoires et des populations, et à favoriser les échanges de bonnes pratiques au titre d’une coopération globale. Dans ce contexte, les travaux conduits identifient, dans différentes branches du droit, les expressions de l’adaptation, et déterminent si le droit applicable à La Réunion est adapté à l’enjeu climatique. L’accent est mis sur les processus d’agencement des éléments hétérogènes identifiés comme autant de composantes de l’adaptation à La Réunion, afin de révéler et d’évaluer les mécanismes juridiques qui permettent de faire naître et de stabiliser les attentes normatives des parties prenantes de l’adaptation des territoires aux changements climatiques. Cette recherche a été financée par le ministère de la Transition écologique et solidaire, dans le cadre du programme OMERAD (15-MCGOT-GICC-2-CVS-009).

How do we begin to handle the greatest crisis affecting humanity today? Climate change is already causing droughts, flooding, and famine that are forcing people to leave their livelihoods and communities. In the years to come, millions will find their local areas uninhabitable, as mass displacement of people reaches disastrous levels. Handling Climate Displacement explains how climate change has become recognized as a human rights concern, and how human rights are key to managing the crisis. Local authorities and populations increasingly call for guidance in the absence of an internationally recognized framework. Drafted in 2013 by a committee of experts and practitioners, Hassine uses the Peninsula Principles on Climate Displacement within States to offer concrete solutions to the impending emergency. Enriched by the author's experience working with the victims of climate displacement, this book offers an effective framework to deal with the challenges presented by mass displacement while protecting human rights.
