Environmental problems, which have increased since the 1960s due to the impact of the Industrial Revolution, invite anthropogenic global warming. Dehydration, drought, deforestation, rising ocean and sea water levels due to the melting of glaciers, increased evaporation due to warming, and severe hurricanes resulting from the temperature- pressure difference resulting from the circulation of evaporated water masses in the atmosphere are among the disasters caused by global warming. While the devastations experienced after disasters resulting from global warming reach a level that a single country cannot combat, it creates a need for international cooperation. Thousand of people are displaced in the crisis environment that occurs after disasters, and this displacement brings environmental security threats. In the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in the USA in 2005, which is the subject of the study, the impact area of the disaster was wide as a result of the Bush Government and FEMA’s failure to make pre-disaster preparations at an optimal level and the dams and breakwaters built during the preliminary preparation process for the possible disaster failed. It has been revealed through information obtained from the US press that the disaster was described as man-made. Qualitative research techniques were used in the study and a literature review was conducted.

Ugur, Omer; Efşan, Nur Çelik
Kuruluşundan bugüne entegrasyon amaçlarını ekonomik alanla sınırlı bırakmayarak genişleten AB’nin çevreci adımları 1987 Avrupa Tek Senedi’yle ete kemiğe bürünmüş ve çevre konusu resmen AB’nin ortak politikası haline gelmiştir. AB’nin çevre politikası oluşturma arzusu normatif amaçlar taşımakla kalmayıp bir Birlik stratejisi olarak yerini almıştır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın amacı AB çevre politikasının gelişim sürecinin AB bütünleşme sürecindeki önemini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada çevre politikalarının yalnızca normatif bir amaca hizmet etmediği, AB’nin ekonomik ve siyasi bütünleşme sürecine de katkılar sunan stratejik bir alan olduğu açıklanmaktadır. Çalışmanın evreni AB olup, örneklemi iklim değişikliğinde politik fırsatlar için itici ve destekleyici faktörlerdir. Ele alınan itici faktör parametreleri; normatif ve sivil güç, önlem ilkesi, bilimsellik ilkesi, uluslararası işbirliği ve etkili çok taraflılık, sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve iklim göçünün güvenliği ilkeleridir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma tekniklerinden yararlanılmış ve literatür taraması yapılmıştır.

Yılmaz, Vedat; Efşan, Nur Çelik
Climate migration, also known as environmentally induced migration, is commonly witnessed in African countries that experience serious difficulties in meeting basic needs such as drought, water scarcity, and food security due to limited resources. Climate-related stress experienced in Africa in the 21st century will continue with both horizontal migration within the continentand migration across borders. The aim of the study is to reveal the impact of “climate change” in Sudan’s Darfur Region, which is known to be one of the first examples of climate-related migration in the literature, and the impact of foreign (or international, one of them is enough) intervention to the migration patterns that paved the way of humanitarian crises in the region. For this reason, The study reveals that how the climatic changes in Africa led to political instability, social violence and a security threat. In the study, it was concluded that the macro powers (states such as the USA, China and Russia) that triggered the humanitarian crisis in Darfur will continue their goals of sharing Sudan's resources. It is foreseen that these states will escalate the crisis by taking advantage of the administrative weaknesses of the Sudanese Government in order to achieve this. It has been revealed that democracy, human rights and the environment will continue to be low politics issues in Sudan, which cannot calm down its domestic politics, and it has become more challenging to ensure the long-term sustainability of social peace. It is argued that the rise of violence in the region will affect the living conditions in camps consisting of various ethnic groups and cause new socio-political problems. In the study, in which Turkish and English literature were reviewed, it has been aimed to provide insights and develop recommendations for further research. It is expected that this study will contribute to the Turkish literature in this regard.
