  ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is to discuss the effects of climate change in the African continent, which has suffered the repercussions of environmental and climate deterioration, most notably “environmental displacement” or what is called “climate refugees.”The findings demonstrate that although the phenomenon of “climate refugee” has become noticeable in the African continent, and despite concrete efforts by Africa, the lack of international recognition of the term “climate refugee” as well as the lack of environmental justice in distributing the burdens of global warming, remains an obstacle for the African continent for solving this problem. Therefore, international synergy is required to find common solutions. So the importance of the study lies in highlighting the insufficiency of African efforts to reduce the phenomenon of environmental refugees, and the lack of international efforts to establish a legal framework for this problem.
