dc.description.abstractThis Master of Arts in Community Development research project explores international and Canadian climate-affected migration policies and frameworks, with a focus on emerging promising practices and their potential application in Canada. Currently, Canadian immigration policy does not account for individuals displaced due to climate change (Omeziri & Gore, 2014, p. 49; ibid., p. 45; Galloway, 2022, p. 28). As Andeva (2020) highlights, many existing systems for supporting environmentally displaced persons are designed to address short-term emergencies rather than long-term crises (p. 79). This research examines international frameworks and regional responses to climate-affected migration to assess their applicability in Canada. The research also considers the role of key stakeholders in shaping future Canadian immigration policy. Given the growing impact of climate change, it is critical that Canada prepares to support climate-affected migrants through inclusive and forward-thinking policies.
