本文对环境难民多边保护的缺失进行了概念化。它通过严格审查2004年在一些关键决策地点对联合国大使和高级外交官进行的采访（n=45）来做到这一点。这些访谈表明，联合国的话语政治再现了对环境难民政策的缺乏。本文探讨了其原因，包括对多边主义作用和环境问题的态度转变。
This paper conceptualizes the absence of multilateral protection for environmental refugees. It does this by critically scrutinizing interviews conducted with United Nations ambassadors and senior diplomats in 2004 (n=45) in a number of key policy-making locations. These interviews reveal that an absence of policy on environmental refugees has been reproduced by discursive politics at the United Nations. The reasons for which are explored here in this paper, and include shifting attitudes towards the role of multilateralism and environmental issues generally.
