Abstract: Climate change brings about many changes such as rising temperature, increased frequency and intensity of sudden weather events, the melting of glaciers and sea level rise. It also threatens biodiversity, human health, agriculture, ecosystem, and food security and it forces people to migrate in many parts of the world. Undoubtedly, climate change is a global and multi-dimensional problem in terms of both its causes and impacts. Looking at the human face of climate change requires an in-depth analysis of the people who have had to leave their homeland as a result of all these upheavals. In this context, the aim of this article is to understand how migration movements due to the effects of climate change take place by examining the current empirical studies in the field. Consequently, climate change migration has been examined under two main headings. Migrations as a result of rapid and sudden effects of climate change on the one hand, and migrations due to the slow and gradual effects of climate change on the other. Among the rapid and sudden climate change effects, population movements related to storms, hurricanes and floods; among the slow and gradual climate change effects, movements related to sea level rise, increasing temperatures, drought and desertification, are discussed.
