Migration and environmental migrants – a consequence of changes in the natural environment
Abstract
Howsoever the term “environmental migrants” seems to be a neologism, a phenomenon of migration determined by changes in environmental conditions of life that has existed since ancient times. The element of newness results above all from the size and consequences of the mass of people's movements over shorter or longer distances. It turns out that both the causes and subsequent effects of these migrations are numerous, complex, and difficult to quantify. It causes many problems of organizational, administrative and legal nature, as it is not easy even to develop theoretical assumptions for institutions, joining environmental, social, economic and political factors.
