Environmental problems have been a growing human-induced challenge that intensively affect
our life and our future. Therefore, this paper aims at analyzing the evolution of environmental
security. Although environmental concern had emerged earlier in the 1960s, the setting
relations between environmental decline and security started in the 1980s. Environmental
decline like transboundary pollution and resource scarcity have been deemed to have
undesirable impact on the security of states, communities and individuals. Environmental
security suggests that environmental problems, notably resource scarcity and environmental
decline can cause violent/conflict among states and communities.

Revisiting the Environmental Security in Terms of Evolution Process

Öz

Environmental problems have been a growing human-induced challenge that intensively affect our life and our future. Therefore, this paper aims at analyzing the evolution of environmental security with all aspects. Although environmental concern had emerged earlier in the 1960s, the setting relations between environmental decline and security started in the 1980s. Environmental decline like transboundary pollution and resource scarcity have been deemed to have undesirable impact on the security of states, communities and individuals. Environmental security suggests that environmental problems, notably resource scarcity and environmental decline can cause violent/conflict among states and communities. Therefore, environmental security has been deemed as part of national policy which securitizes environmental problems. As environmental challenges are transboundary and no nation is not able to cope with all environmental problems alone, there is a requirement of global cooperative response to the environmental problems to prevent any interstate violent conflict ınduced by environmental security.
