Abstract
The sea level rise as a result of global warming raises the question about the status of the definition of state according to the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States 1933. Air pollution from human activity is the fundamental cause of the global warming. State as a subject of international law and the developer of the global industry should take an account on this regard according to specific environmental laws and the international law. In addition, the global warming has caused the problems of statelessness. Two approaches to solve the problem of statelessness are recommended in this research. Firstly, the definition of state should be reviewed according to the serious change of the situation or "Rebus sic stantibus". Secondly, all nations should conclude on the provision of land for the stateless people as a result of global warming and the displaced parliament of the losing territorial nations. Both approaches are based on the cooperation of all nations as the global warming has been primary caused by all as the global developer.
