Sea-Level Rise And Its Impact On Vulnerable States: Four Examples, Ann Powers
Sea-Level Rise And Its Impact On Vulnerable States: Four Examples, Ann Powers
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article first examines the physical, cultural, and economic backgrounds of four vulnerable states—Tuvalu, Seychelles, Maldives, and Bangladesh—and discusses the extent to which each might be affected by sea-level rise. It then considers, in turn, the legal implications of the current rules on maritime delimitation under UNCLOS for the states, along with their efforts to adapt to sea-level rise.
