The Future Of International Migration

War, climate change, and economic hardships have resulted in significant and massive increases in the number of IDPs worldwide. A complex combination of these factors forces people to leave their homes and lands and raises concerns about the future of international migration.

Fundamental issues such as armed conflict and civil war are among the main causes of displacement. Conflicts in Syria, Yemen, South Sudan, and many other countries drive people out of their homes in search of safety and security and cause great suffering. These protracted conflicts are exacerbating the displacement crisis by preventing displaced people from rebuilding their lives and returning to their communities. Increasing migration due to climate change, natural disasters, and environmental factors is a bigger problem. The number of people displaced by climate change is increasing every year. For example, between 2008 and 2018, an estimated 22.5 million people were displaced annually due to climate change. In addition, the adverse effects of climate change are increasing the proportion of displaced people. Rising sea levels, extreme weather, and environmental degradation are affecting areas that threaten habitability. People are forced to leave their homes, especially in sensitive areas such as low-lying islands and coastal areas. Tides, drought, and the loss of farmland are among the factors that have displaced countless people.

ASSESSING GLOBAL PREPAREDNESS: EVALUATION OF PREPAREDNESS FOR MASS MIGRATION TRIGGERED BY THE CLIMATE CRISIS REACHED BREAKING POINT

According to the Geneva-based Internal Migration Monitoring Center (IDMC), a few of the key points include the substantial increase in the number of displaced people worldwide or within the country. The figure, which reached 71.1 million last year, brings with it a 20 percent increase compared to the previous year. To mention a few of the main reasons, they constitute the majority of immigrants from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine, and Sudan. In particular, more than 17 million people were compelled to leave their homeland, especially because of the war in Ukraine. Climate change is also an important cause of migration. Climate-related events such as natural disasters, droughts, and desertification have displaced 32.6 million people.

Climate change and land degradation are among the driving forces of migration in Central Asia. Migration brings with it many difficulties and problems, mainly for internally displaced people. Problems such as poor living conditions, economic difficulties, cultural adaptation problems, and unemployment create great difficulties for immigrants. In addition, migrants may have limited access to basic services such as health, education, and housing. According to the United Nations Migration Management (IOM), there will be approximately 281 million international migrants worldwide in 2020. Natural disasters and conflicts are among the main causes of migration, highlighting important points. Last year alone, approximately 32.6 million people had to leave their homes due to climate-related events. The current situation highlights the authority created by the climate crisis over immigrants and the deep pains of the rapidly increasing climate crisis. Accelerated migration also paves the way for vulnerability, inequality, and an unprecedented inner-eye crisis. The international community is taking an important step towards international migration, one of which is the current situation analysis regarding the "future of migration". First of all, it is necessary to clarify the rights and status of immigrants. Legally uncertain climate change creates an opportunity for immigrants to be evaluated in an international framework. Moreover, proactive measures should be taken to reduce impacts on migration, such as climate change and land degradation.

The implementation of strategies such as sustainable land management, climate adaptation techniques, and a more balanced distribution of resource use also plays an important role at this point. In addition to all these, there is a great need to strengthen cooperation, coordination, and agreements at regional and international levels. Another important aspect of the future of international migration is the link between human migration and urban planning and urban area sustainability. Cities need adequate infrastructure and services for immigrants to settle and integrate into society. In addition, environmental factors should be taken into account, and sustainable development goals should be included in city planning.
