This paper examines how climate security, migration and the re-conceptualization of the notion of sovereignty in the ever-evolving world climate change has increased global security challenges, such as eco-migration and the emergence of carbon colonialism that has put pressure on the traditional concept of sovereignty and territorial delimiting in the relations between states. The study reviews qualitatively the existing frameworks to determine how the processes of climate-induced displacement, which are facilitated by the slow-onset environmental modifications as well as extreme weather conditions, has exposed the weaknesses of state-centric conceptualizations of governance. This paper critically evaluates the consequences of eco-migration to sovereignty and national security with the help of historical examples of colonial exploitation and the existing solutions related to environmental injustice in the frame of global climate regulations. The paper assesses the new security regimes by using the case studies of the regions that have been impacted by eco-migration and carbon exploitation, proposing the redefinition of sovereignty to integrate the environmental and migration-related issues. Its results indicate that transnational and collaborative strategies are required to tackle the issue of eco-migration and curtail exploitation of vulnerable states in the name of carbon colonialism. The present paper proposes the need to have extensive global policies that will ensure that environmental justice is promoted and that sovereignty is re-imagined in a world that is experiencing crises as a consequence of climate change
