CLIMATE CHANGE, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT NATIONAL CONSULTATION ON CLIMATE, RIGHTS, AND DISPLACEMENT Eco-Migration That Meets The Needs Of Climate­Impacted Communities In Georgia Levan Dadiani August, 2023 The current legal status of a person displaced due to climate change is officially equated to that of a socially vulnerable and internally displaced person resulting from armed conflict. This equivalence fails to address the specific challenges faced by climate change-displaced individuals. Georgia does not currently pos­sess a specific legal or regulatory foundation specifically tailored to individuals displaced resettled because of climate change-relat­ed natural disasters. Notably, the existing social and economic challenges undermine and, in certain cases, even vio­late fundamental human rights; such as the right to equality, non-discrimination, property rights, labor rights, the right to freely participate in the cultural life of community, and other similar rights.
