Examining the applicability of the refugee label to environmental migrants

Abstract EN

The current international situation involves many threats to human security, due to the exacerbation of many problems, especially environmental ones.

environmental problems and international security have become very close due to their global nature.

through its periodic reports, the intergovernmental panel on climate change confirmed the increase in the frequency of harmful effects of climate change such as extreme weather events and natural disasters, sea level rise, floods, heat waves, drought, desertification, and water shortages ..., which significantly contributed to the spread of the phenomenon of global climatic migration.

this study also shows the shortcomings of international protection for environmental migrants.

it also highlights attempts to recognize them as refugees, even in the long term.
