Abstract

Global warming is one of the serious climate problems in the world. Researchers have confirmed that some island countries are at risk of flooding due to rising sea levels. People in some countries will be forced to leave their homes. These people are called EDPs (Environmentally displaced persons). With analyzing 988 original data of Mean monthly temperature and sea level from 1993 to 2019, we constructed a simple model of the relationship between global warming and sea level rise, which will estimate sea level changes in recent years and help to predict the number of environmental refugees impacted by this phenomenon. Through literature review and policy reports, this article summarized the long-term policy and emergency measures adopted by governments to deal with environmentally displaced people, which mainly involve mitigation of global warming, protection of human rights of refugees and protection of cultural heritage of countries at risk. We should not only consider EDPs’ survival but also their life quality and dignity.
