Abstract:
This paper tries to find out the relationship between environmental change and migration. Human migration is a common phenomenon since early times. People migrate from one place to another due to various reasons. But the relationship between environmental change and migration is not established till now. The overall objective of this paper is to explore the potential link between climate change, migration and increased risk of conflict. The present review article begins with a brief introduction of migration. It then shows the changing nature of the environment in the context of climate change and their potential impact on human lives. Then it emphasizes some spatial evidences of environmental degradation in the form of drought and cause-effect relationship with migration worldwide. In particular it illustrates occurrence of drought and migration in Indian context as evidence. The paper also shows some evidences of climate-induced migration and conflict. The paper then concludes with a discussion that environmental change plays an important role behind migration decision along with other factors.
