Paragraph 7 e (new)
7e. Highlights that environmental change and migration is addressed in its civil protection, humanitarian aid and development policies; stresses, however, that in the context of policies on international protection, no concrete initiatives to date have addressed the protection needs of people affected by environmental change, and specifically environmental - and other - disasters, as according to the prevailing interpretation of the 1951 Refugee Convention, displacement based on environmental reasons alone does not meet the requirement for refugee protection; notes that, within the EU, complementary forms of protection deriving from the Qualification Directive and the Temporary Protection Directive, as well as protection from non-refoulement under the Return Directive, could provide protection alternatives; deplores, however, that all of those instruments reveal deficiencies in the protection of environmentally displaced persons.
