justice for the Pacific in Aotearoa?
Teall Crossen.
160 pages.
On cover: There is no international legal protection for the climate dispossessed. Contents: Water -- Peace and security -- Liability for climate pollution -- Are we doing enough? -- The legal void -- Te Tiriti o Waitangi -- Justice.
Summary: If an entire country becomes uninhabitable, if Pacific peoples seek refuge here, how would we honour the rights of a country destroyed by the climate, and not cause further injustice in light of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our failure to honour Māori sovereignty in Aotearoa?' The world is heating up beyond the capacity of some countries to cope. Entire populations of Pacific island are threatened, jeopardising the sovereign rights of these countries and the security of the region. This book explores what a just response to the risk of climate change displacement in the Pacific could look like. (Back cover)
