In recent decades, indigenous peoples have been raising questions surrounding issues tied to the consequences of climate change, such as food security and sovereignty. Faced with the risk of “migration due to climate change”, many indigenous peoples ask for recognition of their peculiar relationship with the earth and claim for such rights as those of mobility, voluntary isolation, and to not be forced to relocate far away from their ancestral territories. Furthermore, they struggle against land grabbing and the exploitation of their territories by States and multinational companies. International institutions have created acknowledgement pathways of such instances. This article analyses these claims and pathways, dwelling on subjects that specifically concern indigenous peoples’ forced migrations for economical or ecological reasons and focusing on the innovative contribution of these struggles to the field of theory and practice of human rights.

Abstract
In recent decades, indigenous peoples have been raising questions surrounding issues tied to the consequences of climate change, such as food security and sovereignty. Faced with the risk of “migration due to climate change”, many indigenous peoples ask for recognition of their peculiar relationship with the earth and claim for such rights as those of mobility, voluntary isolation, and to not be forced to relocate far away from their ancestral territories. Furthermore, they struggle against land grabbing and the exploitation of their territories by States and multinational companies. International institutions have created acknowledgement pathways of such instances. This article analyses these claims and pathways, dwelling on subjects that specifically concern indigenous peoples’ forced migrations for economical or ecological reasons and focusing on the innovative contribution of these struggles to the field of theory and practice of human rights.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
