Climate change is increasingly recognized as a driver of child displacement, exposing children to severe and overlapping human rights risks. Nonetheless, the scope and content of States’ obligations under international human rights law (IHRL) to prevent and respond to such displacement remain underexplored, particularly regarding duties of adaptation and the protection of children within their jurisdiction. This research analyses States’ children’s rights obligations in the area of protection of climate displaced children and reflects on when a failure to adopt adequate adaptation measures amounts to a violation of these obligations. The analysis adopts a comparative approach, drawing on recent international and regional human rights case law, as well as interpretative instruments such as General Comments and Advisory Opinions, from bodies including, but not limited to, the CRC Committee, Human Rights Committee, IACHR and ECtHR. The research aims at identifying emerging standards on adaptation as a dimension of the duty to respect, protect, and fulfil children’s rights in climate-vulnerable contexts, and, ultimately, at clarifying the human rights-based parameters of State accountability for climate-related child displacement, in order to provide guidance about climate displacement measures which are consistent with the UNCRC and broader relevant frameworks.
