Cli mate\nEmergency and the Right to Exclude


Some\nclimat e activists and political philosophers have suggested that migration to\nw ealthy countries such as the UK and the countries of the European Union ma y\nneed to be restricted in order to reduce carbon emissions. Such argumen ts are\,\nironically\, the flip side of some pro-migration arguments from economists.\nStarting from a methodological framework that rules governing human mobility\nhave to be justifiable to everyone\, I argue that restric tions that push the\ncosts of \;climate \;mitigation onto those wh o are already suffering from\nits consequences are unjustified\, but that intensifies the obligation of the\nalready-wealthy to pursue rapid decarbo nization.
