Abstract
As the global climate crisis increasingly exacerbates, many countries are faced with more frequent natural disasters and the acceleration of slow on-set environmental degradation. In such context, environmental migration, comes into the international communitys view. Though not a new phenomenon, environmental migration fails to fit in the current migration framework due to its multidisciplinary nature, as a result, therere no explicit legal documents and mechanism to protect environmental migrants. In response to the inaction, this article investigates the key factors of environmental migration and possible pathways through the comparative study of Bangladesh and Singapore. In the first part, the impact of climate change on both states are examined and compared. In the next part, the difficulties in defining and tackling environmental migration issues are proposed, followed by the overview of current legal pathways of Bangladesh, Singapore and international law. In the third part, principles concerning environmental migrants human rights protection are discussed, and viable policy options are based on those principles and previous review of Bangladesh and Singapores situation, reflecting on how the two states could act as examples to inspire the international community.
