This paper argues for a broader emphasis and complex view on environmental migration and security scenarios for examining the interlinkages both empirically and theoretically. The author notes that human and natural interactions should be taken into consideration from many of the significant aspects and conditions and looks at what different conceptual frameworks contribute to the wider understanding of environmental migration and security scenarios. The first part of the paper summarizes the security aspects of environmental migration. The second gives a very short introduction to global scenarios and their migration implications. The third describes some conceptual frameworks of environmental migration scenarios. The last section adds some remarks on environmental migration and security links. The author concludes that this link will only be understandable if the aspects of all participants are respected.
