“…On an even broader scale, a combination of climate and geopolitical stressors are driving forced migrations 8 . Displaced populations, like those residing in refugee camps, are also uniquely at risk from COVID-19 outbreaks because of living conditions that are incompatible with social distancing and a lack of access to testing or healthcare.…”

“…It is also often difficult to distinguish between forced and voluntary environment-induced migration [47][48][49][50]. Categorizing environmental migration as forced may be rather indisputable in cases of an environmental disaster.…”

“…Climate change events are being considered from the point of sudden-and slow-onset events [47]. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) [53], sudden-onset events comprise "meteorological hazards including tropical cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards; hydrological hazards including coastal floods, mudflows; or geophysical hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions."…”

The character, the motion and the proportion of environment-induced migration have radically changed in recent years. Environment-induced migration is an increasingly recognized fact and has become one of the main challenges of the 21st century, and needs to be focused on to ensure sustainable growth. This new stance is due to the changing character of environmental degradation. Global environmental issues, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, river and oceanic contamination, land degradation, drought, and the destruction of rainforests, are progressively stressing the earth’s ecosystems. Among these issues, climate change is one of the most severe threats. Climate change alone does not directly induce people to move but it generates harmful environmental effects and worsens present vulnerabilities. The current study aims to provide cornerstone links between the effects of climate change, migration decisions, displacement risk and conflicts in the example of Afghanistan, as a country that is extremely affected by both climate change and conflicts, and outline priority policy focuses to mitigate the current situation in the country.

“…U nekim analizama se okvir sagledavanja problema migracija i životne sredine proširuje na tumačenje uzroka i posledica konflikata. "Klimatski uslovi" u kontekstu pojave ozbiljnih suša, u sagledavanju činilaca koji uslovljavaju pojavu tražilaca azila u periodu od 2011. do 2015. godine, porede se sa oružanim konfliktima (Abel et al, 2019). S druge strane, u nekim analizama se ove veze relativizuju (Selby et al, 2017).…”

SažetakCilj rada je sagledavanje položaja izbeglica čiji su uzroci izbeglištva u promenama u stanju životne sredine ("ekološke izbeglice"). U prvom delu rada se ukazuje na teorijski kontekst i opšti pravni okvir kojim je uređeno pitanje položaja izbeglica u međunarodnom izbegličkom pravu. Analiziraju se odredbe sadržane u Konvenciji o statusu izbeglica (1951( ) sa Protokolom (1967. Razmatra se, pre svega, pitanje načina kako je u Konvenciji regulisan položaj izbeglica čiji se uzroci izbeglištva mogu pripisati promenama u životnoj sredini. Drugi deo rada je posvećen ispitivanju relevantnih odredbi međunarodnog prava životne sredine sa stanovišta načina kako se ovaj deo normi međunarodnog prava odnosi prema pitanju prisilnih migracija. Ukazuje se i na odredbe dva najnovija međunarodna dokumenta od potencijalnog značaja za izbeglice i životnu sredinu (Nacrt globalnog dogovora za sigurnu, urednu i regularnu migraciju, 2019, i Nacrt globalnog pakta za životnu sredinu, 2017). U zaključku se naglašava potreba jasnijeg uređivanja položaja izbeglica kroz odgovarajuće izmene i dopune u obe oblasti međunarodnog prava: međunarodnog izbegličkog prava i međunarodnog prava životne sredine.Ključne reči: izbeglice, migracije, životna sredina, ekološke izbeglice, međunarodno izbegličko pravo.* Doktor nauka, naučni savetnik, Institut za međunarodnu politiku i privredu, Beograd,
