Abstract
The article is devoted to the problems of environmental migration in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals proclaimed by the United Nations at the General Assembly session in 2015. Environmental migration has long been the subject of study by various scientists, where in the need for an integrated attitude to the study of this phenomenon is noted. However, to date, there is no systematic approach to studying the problem of environmental migration: scientists consider this process from the point of view of a specific area of their scientific interests. Most often, the points of view of representatives of natural and social sciences are paradigmatically indicated, sometimes they are opposite in their content. The study of environmental migration through the prism of Sustainable Development Goals provides, in our opinion, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach. The article attempts to systematically investigate the phenomenon of environmental migration using the consequences of the ecological crisis in the Aral Sea region as an example.

Summary
The first scientific studies of such a social phenomenon as an environmental migration began to be carried out only in the second hаlf of the twentieth cеntury, the phenomenon itself is characteristic of human history from the very moment of its origin.
