This report focuses on the intersection of environmental change with movements into the European Union from Central Asia. It contributes to the growing body of literature on migration in the context of climate and environmental change1, including movements affected by the slow and sudden impacts of climate change. The report identifies new trends in migration affecting the European Union and Central Asia and discusses the current state of legal and policy responses to these movements. It helps countries in the European Union and Central Asia fulfill the commitments made in the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (hereinafter referred to as the Global Compact on Migration) related to understanding the driving forces of migration in the context of climate and environmental change. The report's recommendations should also help European and Central Asian governments develop policies that enable them to respond more effectively to these movements. (IOM, more at reliefweb.int)
