As the environment, climate change and migration complex nexus is drawing increasing attention in the contemporary international agenda, The State of Environmental Migration 2014: Review of the Year 2013 is the fourth of the annual publication, with a specific focus on the year 2013 and aiming to enhance understanding on natural disasters, sudden onset events and slow onset events and their links to human mobility. The publication is not only focused on 2013 events but does also consider the longer term impacts of a natural event on migration, as well as developments at policy level relating migration, climate and the environment. The State of Environmental Migration series seeks to document empirical
evidence to provide an annual assessment on the changing nature and dynamics of environment and climate related migration throughout the world.
