Oral Presentation
This paper focuses on the possibilities of migratory movements including human mobility and immobility in Turkey directly or indirectly related to the effects of the global climate crisis. Based on a literature review and grey literature with various sources and news on the subject, the paper examines current events and possibilities within the context of the climate crisis and climate justice in the light of the literature, and discusses various dimensions of possible human mobility and immobility in Turkey, including vulnerabilities stemming from existing hierarchies and injustices. It is argued that the issue of human mobility or immobility in the context of migration studies and climate crisis could be analyzed from a social transformation perspective for a better understanding of socioecological and holistic evaluation. In addition to this central argument, within the framework of existing reports and literature, it is anticipated that potential human mobility and immobility based on the climate crisis in Turkey will come into the spotlight more in the near future.
