Climate change has been one of the main concerns of our time. It causes global warming and sea level rise. The territory of the island states have been at the risk of being submerged due to the impacts of climate change. It is disputed that whether the island states could continue to exists as states after loss of their territory. Moreover, since climate change also causes large scale displacement, it raises the issue that whether those displaced people are refugees and how to protect their rights.
