- Abstract
- In the context of climate change and natural disasters, planned relocation refers to the planned process of moving a group of people from their place of origin to one or more new locations, with the intent for this move to be permanent. These relocations represent a form of adaptation to the consequences of climate change, and their frequency is expected to increase in the coming years. However, recognizing planned relocations within Europe remains challenging, resulting in muting these individuals relocated. This chapter examines whether obligations under EU law provide solutions for people relocated to voice their interests. It concludes that, given the internal character of planned relocations, EU human rights law does not appear as the most appropriate instrument in this context. On the contrary, the Water Framework Directive and the European Flood Directive offer some interesting perspectives.
