El calentamiento global está provocando cada vez más desplazamientos de personas. La comunidad Maasai de África Oriental es una comunidad de pastores que se enfrenta a los efectos del cambio climático, lo que está provocando su desplazamiento. Este artículo analiza el contexto del calentamiento global en África Oriental, examina los factores directos del desplazamiento de la comunidad Maasai y evalúa los diversos factores que afectan a los patrones de migración de los Maasai. Se esbozan cuestiones como la exacerbación de las disparidades de género debido al cambio climático, con un análisis de la relación entre ambos. En Kenia vive un gran número de Maasai. Por ello, el artículo también evalúa las medidas aplicadas en Kenia para hacer frente a los efectos del calentamiento global en el desplazamiento de los Maasai. El artículo pretende identificar lo que falta en el derecho y las normas internacionales y regionales aplicables a los pastores afectados por el cambio climático, con una sección que ofrece recomendaciones para la Comunidad de África Oriental.
