In today's globalized world, it is seen that the displaced population reached a level that can be interpreted as the highest value in the human history. Thus, various researchers have conducted studies to theorise the concept of the displaced people and migration. Because scholars and policy-makers have not agreed on the fact that environmental change has affected the displaced people and hence, they should be classified as “Environmental Refugees” and given refugee status, the topic in question is evaluated as problematic. The current paper focuses on this argument and discusses how environmental change has influenced migration in Asia in which half of the world's population reside, and economic and social changes occur in a short time and at a great rate. The paper also explains the “Environmental Refugees” term and argues that the term can be used to describe people who have left their origins because of environmental change.

Günümüzün küreselleşen dünyasında yerinden edilmiş nüfusun insanlık tarihinin en yüksek değeri olarak yorumlanabilecek bir düzeye ulaştığı görülmektedir. Bu nedenle, çeşitli araştırmacılar yerinden edilmiş insanlar ve göç kavramını teorileştirmek için çalışmalar yürütmüştür. Akademisyenler ve politikaya yön verenler, çevresel değişimin yerlerinden edilmiş insanları etkilediği ve dolayısıyla "Çevre Mültecileri” olarak sınıflandırılmaları ve mülteci statüsü verilmesi gerektiği konusunda hemfikir olmadıkları için söz konusu konu sorunlu olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu makale bu argümana odaklanmakta ve çevresel değişimin dünya nüfusunun yarısının ikamet ettiği ve ekonomik ve sosyal değişimlerin kısa sürede ve büyük oranda meydana geldiği Asya'da göçü nasıl etkilediğini tartışmaktadır. Makale ayrıca “Çevre Mültecileri” terimini açıklamakta ve bu terimin çevresel değişim nedeniyle kökenlerini terk eden insanları tanımlamak için kullanılabileceğini savunmaktadır.
