Tunisian Study on Environmental Migration
The Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights is organizing a seminar on October 20 to discuss its study titled "Environmental Migrations in Tunisia." The study addresses the phenomenon of individuals relocating due to environmental and climate-related reasons, resulting from the increasing impacts of climate change such as floods, wildfires, heatwaves, as well as water shortages, land desertification, and pollution. The study highlights the absence of a clear legal definition for this phenomenon and the lack of specific protective legislation. It also points to fragmented institutional roles and a shortage of data related to the movements of those affected by environmental factors. Additionally, the study focuses on concepts such as environmental migrants, climate refugees, and displaced persons, exploring the social and security challenges associated with these movements. It offers recommendations for establishing a legal framework that recognizes environmental migrants and provides them with protection, along with strengthening relevant national policies.
