The Hugo Observatory presents the seventh annual volume of the series "The State of Environmental Migration", published at the Presses Universitaires de Liège, under the direction of François Gemenne, Caroline Zickgraf and Luka De Bruyckere.
T
he State of Environmental Migration aims to provide its readership with the most updated assessments on recent events and evolving dynamics of environmental migration throughout the world. Each year, the editors select the best graduate student work from the course “Environment and Migration”, taught by François Gemenne and Caroline Zickgraf, at the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) of Sciences Po. Presented in this edition are displacements induced by some of the most dramatic disaster events of 2016, including Hurricane Matthew, as well as analyses of migration flows related to a variety of environmental occurrences throughout the year spanning the globe. The State of Environmental Migration 2017 thus represents another stepping stone towards understanding the broad spectrum that is environmental migration.
Edited by The Hugo Observatory of the University of Liège, this year’s edition is published in the framework of the Horizon 2020 Environmental Diplomacy and Geopolitics (EDGE) project, a partnership with the University of Economics of Bratislava (EUBA) and Sciences Po Paris. The publication was launched in December 2017 on the second EDGE Annual Conference: Politics of the Earth.
