Summary
According to scientists, over the course of 141 years of climate records, there has never been a warmer January than in 2020.1 In the same way, February 2020 was ranked as the second-hottest February for the same period.2 The consequences of rising atmospheric temperatures are altering the global climate system. Sudden- and slow-onset climate-related disasters, in combination with socio-economic disparities and conflicts, are increasingly related to human mobility. After many years of invisibility, this topic is receiving increasing attention in international, regional, and national legislative and policy spheres.
