Summary/Abstract: For a long time, attention was paid to migration flows generated by conflicts and economic and political reasons. But migration, for environmental or ecological reasons,is increasingly becoming more and more crescendo. In addition to natural disasters and disasters, globalization and climate change caused by human activities are increasing environmental change and degradation, and therefore associated migration. As a result, environmental migrations, with climate change and their effects, can be considered one of the major global concerns and a major issue in public policy in the current century.The most exposed regions – coastal areas and overcrowded deltas, island countries, Sahel – are pushing people to leave their places of life for more mature spaces. This jeopardizes food and water security, political and economic stability, livelihoods and landscapes. The paper will focus on the following five points: Environmental migrations: some characteristics; Natural and technological disasters and disasters; Impacts of Climate Change; The causes of hunger in the world and COP21 and COP22 as a solution?
