The relationship between environmental factors and migration processes in Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

This article examines the influence of environmental factors on migration processes in Kyrgyzstan, taking into account their socio-economic and political aspects. The article explores the relationship between them, with particular emphasis on internal migration from agricultural areas to urban centers. The causes and consequences of migration, including rural-to-urban emigration and internal population movements, are analyzed in the context of a deteriorating environmental situation and a changing climate. Particular attention is paid to the interaction of environmental factors with socio-economic conditions such as employment, income levels and access to resources. The influence of migration flows on the political situation in the country and possible strategies for managing these processes are also considered. Ultimately, the article highlights key challenges and opportunities for creating sustainable policies that promote environmental sustainability and socio-economic development in Kyrgyzstan.
