Climate change will have as a consequence a more or less important rise of global sea-levels. For some countries; this is likely to mean their total disappearance; if no measures are taken. Some of these measures might be too costly for the country to finance and its population will have no other choice but to migrate to another country. This contribution considers this kind of problem from the point of view of political philosophy. My arguments will rest on two fundamental assumptions: the State’s duty to protect and the individual’s right not to have to migrate.
Duty to protect; right not to have to emigrate; global rising of sea levels; principle of self-protection
