Abstract: The topic of this article is the problem of no legal regulations regarding the status of environmental migrants and its implications.Neither does International law permit them to take advantage of legal protection granted to refugees, nor are their interests represented in any international document.The article presents the analysis of the works of United Nations, expert group and international organisations, which resulted in introducing the notions of migrants and people in vulnerable situations to the Preamble of, adopted at the climate conference in 2015, Paris Agreement, stressing the importance of promoting and respecting their rights.Moreover, it has been decided to create a special task force within the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage, which aim is to draft recommendations on how to minimise the impact of climate change on migration.The article then proceeds to analyse the effectiveness of the actions undertaken by the task force as well as by other key actors, such as other UN departments, International Organisation for Migration or world leaders at G20 summits.The final part presents the assessment of said actions, indicating why they are insufficient and the model of preventing and reducing economical damage unsatisfactory.
