Abstract
Through the analysis of legal texts and official documents on the environmental refuge, it is observed that these diplomas approach the refuge only under its primitive concept, established in the Convention on the Status of Refugees, without major innovations. Moreover, the environmental refuge does not appear in legal instruments. In situations where the environment is identified as a driving factor for migration, the economic context of the affected regions is a decisive and essential element of displacement. Therefore, the research in question aims at discussing the economic context of environmental refuge, based on the cyclical phenomenon of drought in northeastern Brazil and environmental disasters in the cities of Mariana and Brumadinho. The discussion on political and social issues that enhance the damage to the environment should receive special attention in the refuge's agenda, in order to corroborate the connection between economic vulnerability and environmental refuge.
