“…4. The model does not distinguish between capability and vulnerability as two different causes for the decision to migrate (Kaczan & Orgill-Meyer, 2019). The complex interplay between these drivers might challenge the premises of the radiation model, which does not distinguish between individuals in their decision process.…”

“…They move to pursue a better quality of life, as the Romans put it, "ubi bene, ibi Patria" ("where one is well-off, there is one's country"), sometimes just to survive. Environmental change from droughts, desertification, floods, earthquakes, and wildfire is being increasingly recognized as a key driver for mass migration (Kaczan & Orgill-Meyer, 2019). SLR, in particular, is expected to affect the lives of more than 600 million people living close to the coast, who could see their livelihood at risk and decide to migrate (Hauer et al, 2019 Notes.…”

“…Many scientists describe migration as a social phenomenon in which environmental factors such as climate change can trigger a first surge in migration. In other words, people's ability to adapt to environmental change, not the nature of migration itself, may be the most important factor in climate -induced migration [24].…”

“…On the migration side, researchers have uncovered so-called "stylized facts" that govern how and why people move and under what circumstances for more than a century. These changes include increased droughts, more frequent floods, higher temperatures and more extreme weather events, and changes that threaten well-being -the very existence and livelihood of the people [2]. People who are severely affected by changing ecological conditions can choose to emigrate from their home countries.…”

Our paper focuses on studying the development and implementation of a comprehensive environmental safety assessment and mitigation strategy for countries of origin and destination of environmental migration. Environmental migration represents one of the key threats to the security of regions and countries and is linked to their sustainable development (or lack thereof). Moreover, it is also connected to many important social, economic as well as demographic outcomes. Global warming caused by human activities is already having a major impact on the planet and is likely to render parts of the world uninhabitable, leading to migration, displacement, and planned resettlement. The goal of the paper is also to assess the impact of future migration due to the global warming and climate change. The results of the paper demonstrate that climate impacts can trigger migration and change population distribution within the next few decades. It is also clear that migration caused by the environmental factors (such as droughts, floods, higher temperature sand more extreme weather events) would inevitably lead to the geopolitical changes with long-range impacts and effects.

“…Given that environmental factors have a significant effect on migration, and climate change shapes patterns of migration (Kaczan and Orgill-Meyer, 2020), worldwide more than 25 million environmental refugees are expected to be moving within their countries or across borders by 2050 to escape the consequences of severe environmental problems including climate change (IOM, 2020). Gendered dimensions of migration are widely accepted.…”

Turkey is extremely vulnerable to the adverse consequences of climate change due to its location. The effects of climate change are not gender neutral and women are more vulnerable than men to adverse effects of climate change. Although the implications of gender in relation to climate change has been extensively researched in the Global South and has started to emerge in the Global North, gender dimensions and analysis of climate change is absent from public policy discussions and academic papers in Turkey. This paper has a dual aim of revealing the gender invisibility with regard to climate change in academic literature and in the national climate change policies in Turkey as well as of increasing the academic understanding of gender dimensions of climate change to inform the public policy in the country. To this end, a combination of broad systematic literature review and document analysis method were used. In addition, decision-making bodies were analysed. I argue that the absence of critical gender analysis in policy and research in relation to climate change reduces the country's ability to develop adequate adaptation and mitigation strategies since the impacts of climate change can exacerbate existing inequalities with regard to gender. This failure may weaken Turkey's positions in the international climate change politics and the harmonisation with the European Union.
