Climate change will have distinct impacts on various regions and populations. In this context, human mobility can be an empowered adaptation strategy or an unwelcome necessity for survival with a high human cost. Existing legal frameworks were not created with a view to addressing human mobility in this context; there is presently scarce political will to develop new, bespoke legal mechanisms. The insufficiency of legal frameworks, coupled with increasing recognition that attempts to mitigate global warming will not be sufficient to prevent massive human movements, have driven the development of an adaptive approach. This article explores this development, first analyzing the conceptualization of human mobility in the context of climate change. The shift in focus from a rights-based to an adaptive approach is then discussed through an examination of the underpinnings of each approach. The article concludes with a consideration of the way forward, given the existing political landscape.

人类流动与气候变化

气候变化将对各个地区和人口产生明显影响。在这种情况下，人员流动可能是一种授权的适应策略，也可能是不受欢迎的以高昂的人力成本生存的必要条件。尚未建立现有法律框架来解决这种情况下的人员流动问题；当前，缺乏制定新的定制法律机制的政治意愿。法律框架的不足，以及人们日益认识到减轻全球变暖的努力不足以防止大规模的人类活动，已经推动了适应性方法的发展。本文探讨了这一发展，首先分析了气候变化背景下人类流动的概念。然后，通过研究每种方法的基础来讨论从基于权利的方法到适应性方法的重点转移。鉴于现有的政治形势，本文最后考虑了前进的方向。
