Environmental displacement: an analysis based on the dignity of the human person

Abstract

Considering that the occurrence of environmental disasters is an increasingly frequent reality, we seek to present a new situation of human mobility: the environmental displacement, since the degradation and deterioration of the environment can gain proportions in order to invade the survival and subsistence of individuals or communities in their places of origin. Such a situation seriously compromises the way of life adopted and can be understood as a violation of human rights, so that it becomes a legitimate subject of interest for the international community. However, what is seen about human displacement from environmental causes is a normative void.
