Environmental Migration and Türkiye: A Demographic Problem in the Near Future

Abstract Human beings shape their life with the effect of the conditions in nature and can exist in relation to it. They are also constantly struggling with the environment in which they live, by using the developing technology in order to increase the level of welfare; and are changing nature as well. Environmental problems which threaten the future of humanity more and more each year, emerge as a result of this struggle and change. As the global climate crisis worsens, an increasing number of people are being forced to flee their homes due to natural disasters, droughts, and other weather events. These people are sometimes called “environmental migrants” or “climate refugees”. Environmental migrants or climate refugees are people who are forced to leave their home region because of sudden or long-term changes to their local or regional environment. These changes compromise their well-being or livelihood and cover increased drought, desertification, sea-level rise, and disruption of seasonal weather patterns. Environmental migrants may flee or migrate to another country, or they may migrate internally within their own country. According to statistics published by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, every year since 2008, an average of 26.4 million persons around the world have been forcibly displaced by floods, windstorms, earthquakes or droughts. So, what is environmental migration and who are environmental migrants? How does climate change exacerbate the migration/refugee crisis? What actions should governments take and what can be done about it? In this paper, we explore in environmental anthropological methodology the questions above and possible future developments in Türkiye. Keywords: Climate Change, Migration, Environmental Migration, Climate Refugees, Türkiye
