The Oslo Principles delineate the legal obligations of States and enterprises to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by streamlining the fragmented legal regimes relating to climate change. A novel and demanding endeavour, they constitute a valuable attempt to compel governments to commit to climate change action. However, while asserting the breadth of their remit, the Oslo Principles neglect to meaningfully engage with climate change displacement - an increasingly urgent issue that has yet to be comprehensively addressed at the international level. This article explores the extent of the opportunity missed by the Oslo Principles in neglecting to promote the issue of climate change displacement to the international agenda, thus facilitating a more comprehensive response to climate change, and ultimately ascertains that any expectation that the Oslo Principles would meaningfully engage with climate change displacement is fundamentally misplaced.
