Climate change is expected to have an unprecedented impact on human migration and displacement over the next decade. Individuals forced to migrate on the basis of climate change or natural disasters remain, however, on the periphery of international and domestic environmental and refugee protections. 'Teitiota', a landmark decision by the UN Human Rights Committee in 2020 could, however, point the way toward filling these legal gaps by using the principle of non-refoulement under human rights law to prevent the deportation of those whose lives are at risk. As such, this paper seeks to explore the application of Teitiota to the Canadian context. The goal is to assess the potential impact of 'Teitota' on Charter jurisprudence and examine positive steps that Canada may take to build a framework around transnational climate change and disaster displacement.
