This policy brief documents the drivers of migration in Turkey, among them as an adaptative response to the effects of climate change, including the impact of temperature and sea-level rise, changing precipitation patterns and drought on seasonal agricultural workers.

Based on a literature review on environmental and climate change and migration, and on the existing literature on the links between both topics, this brief makes policy recommendations such as the need to:

  • Recognise seasonal workers as environmental migrants
  • Integrate environmental migration into existing policy frameworks on climate change
  • Invest in climate change research throughout Turkey
