Resumen:
Climate change is, today, a serious threat to international security, especially for those most vulnerable to its impacts. Extreme weather events have increased in frequency and severity in recent years and raise fundamental questions regarding the appropriateness of the current international regime on humanitarian assistance to victims of natural disasters.This article analyzes how climate security must be built by taking on the responsibility of States to protect their populations from the risks, threats and climate disasters, international assistance consenting own. But also the responsibility of all States to mitigate climate change based on the best scientific information available and in accordance with its historical contribution to climate change to ensure that all people can adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and ensure protection of their human rights.Despite the enormity and impact of climate disasters, international law regulating the activities related to humanitarian assistance and protection of victims in these situations is very underdeveloped. The existing regulatory gap is, in a way, to the consideration of these phenomena as naturally inevitable, but they end up being authentic when disaster management fails. Hence, the relevance of shifting the doctrine of 'responsibility to protect' (R2P) to ensure the protection of victims of climate disasters by the international community.
