Sažetak
This chapter starts from the perspective of forced migration in order to discuss the effects and impacts of environmental change on people and their habitats as one of the possible and increasingly important causes or macro-drivers of involuntary displacement in the world. Following a description and analysis of the global numbers indicating the size and degree of involuntary environmental migration, it discusses issues of environmental risks, environmental vulnerability, threat and resilience, as well as environmental (or climate) and social justice. As a case study, it analyses the evacuation and temporary environmental displacement during and after a natural disaster, namely flooding in the regions of Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina in May 2014, concluding with some guidelines for the future reduction of environmental threat and increase of environmental resilience in these three countries.
