Protección de los derechos humanos de los migrantes ambientales en Colombia durante el siglo XXI

Abstract

Although the relationship that exists between environmental disasters and migration is not a recent issue because populations have migrated since the beginning of the years due to the climate conditions of their environment, it is a phenomenon that significantly impacts places of origin as well as destinations; which generates the degradation of the human rights of this vulnerable population. However, today there are still many gaps and questions in this regard that need to be answered and, in the case of Colombia, it is a population group that is not yet fully recognized. Therefore, this article aims to provide a general perspective on the migration of people for environmental reasons, exposing the different visions in relation to the guarantee of their fundamental rights. To achieve such a proposal, the concept of migration and environmental migrant is studied; as well as the causes and impacts it has on the exercise of rights, based on the study of significant cases and the responses that have been given by governance and international cooperation entities; Finally, present a series of prevention strategies for this migratory phenomenon and propose a solution in this regard.
