This chapter constitutes initial thinking in a project funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (grant number 1127-00125B) which will run over 2022-2024 with initial case studies in Greenland and the Cook Islands. It draws on earlier research which examined how Indigenous Peoples living on islands that were subject to colonization are not the focus of international climate change law and suggested that the special procedures of the UN system might offer some, if limited, remedy.
