The problem of climate migration and the European Union’s approach to its solution is addressed. The analysis of the EU legal and policy documents shows that the EU recognizes the relationship between human mobility and climate change, but does not propose specific measures to protect the rights of climate migrants and refugees. From this angle, the Green Deal and the reform of asylum policy are considered. The possibilities of amending legislation within the framework of the new Pact on Migration and Asylum to recognize the rights of climate refugees are analyzed. The conclusion is that in the context of growing anti-migrant sentiments and the popularity of far-right parties, the EU prefers to shift responsibility for regulating migration flows to source countries rather than expand the grounds for asylum seekers to obtain status of climate refugee.
