Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of
migrants, Felipe González Morales
Summary
The present report outlines the main activities undertaken by the Special
Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Felipe González Morales, during the
reporting period since his most recent report to the General Assembly.
In the report, the Special Rapporteur reviews the complex relationship between
climate change, human rights and migration, as well as the multifaceted drivers of
cross-border migration in the context of climate change. He examines the human
rights situation of migrants, especially women, children, indigenous peoples,
minorities and other groups in specific vulnerable situations, affected by the adverse
effects of climate change, and he analyses progress made on devising available and
flexible pathways for regular migration in the context of climate change as an
adaptation option.
On the basis of the information and analysis provided by States, international
organizations, civil society and other stakeholders, the Special Rapporteur identifies
promising practices, ongoing efforts and existing challenges and provides a set of
recommendations aimed at promoting migration with dignity for all migrants,
including those affected by climate change, and addressing their specific human rights
and protection needs.
