Annotation: This article presents a scholarly analysis of the intrinsic link between climate change and migration processes. Climate-induced migration is increasingly recognized as a conceptual challenge to global human security, social stability, and the international legal framework. Existing mechanisms of international law—particularly the 1951 Geneva Convention and the UN Global Compact for Migration adopted in 2018—are examined to identify conceptual and practical gaps in defining the legal status of climate migrants. The article also scientifically substantiates the impact of climate change on human security, with particular emphasis on economic, environmental, and demographic stability. Using Uzbekistan as a case study, especially the Aral Sea region, the paper explores the dynamics of internal migration under conditions of ecological degradation. The author underscores the need to enhance national legal frameworks for the protection of climate migrants, promote international cooperation, and reinforce adaptation policies at the institutional level.

Keywords: climate change, climate migration, human security, environmental degradation, international law, Geneva Convention, Global Migration Agreement, Island Region, national legislation, adaptation policies.
