Abstract

Climate change-induced catastrophes, which have been shown to have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health outcomes, are anticipated to lead to an increase in human migration beyond existing levels. This chapter examines the complex relationship between resilience and mental health difficulties in the context of climate refugees, who are persons who are forced to relocate as a result of the consequences of climate change. Further, it explores the many aspects of resilience that people experience while facing the psychological consequences of being displaced from their residences. It examines the current legal frameworks that pertain to climate refugees, with a focus on finding any deficiencies and contradictions that contribute to the heightened vulnerabilities experienced by this particular group. This research aims to influence policy conversations and encourage a more holistic approach to addressing the well-being of climate refugees in the face of increasing environmental realities by shedding light on the nexus of resilience, mental health, and legal complexities.
