"The author offers a deep, sophisticated look at climate change and human rights law" -Natural Hazards Observer, November 2014

"The issues McAdam addresses are undoubtedly complex and cover a multitude of disciplinary areas. Whilst the overarching approach of this text is a consideration of the international legal aspects of climate change and forced migration it is eminently engaging and the relevance of the issues raised are undoubtedly of importance far beyond the individuals and communities most directly impacted. This remains an emerging field of study and the book serves as a very well-thought-through and informative introduction to issues that will only increase in significance in the very near future." -Roy Smith, Journal of New Zealand and Pacific Studies
