| Sumario: | The philosophical discussion on climate change and migration to date has focused mainly on the case ‘sinking islands’. Though critical, this case represents only a small fraction of the empirical and normative landscape of climate-related migration. This thesis zooms out from sinking islands with two aims. The first is to shed light on the complexity of the phenomenon of migration in the context of climate change. To that end, the thesis provides a framework to make sense of the heterogeneous and causally intricate relation between climate change and human mobility. The second aim is to address some of the normative challenges raised by this complexity, in what is identified as the most prevalent migration scenario: Climate Degradation. Adopting the outlook of corrective justice, the thesis discusses its implications regarding the nature and extent of duty-bearers’ responsibility for climatic impacts and climate victims’ rights of entry into other states. |
