Overview of special issue

Changes in the hydrological cycle caused by a global warming are exacerbating the recurrence and intensity of droughts events. This severe climate-related hazard affects large areas every year in different regions of the world. Some direct effects of droughts, among others are desertification, land degradation, ecosystems and social instability. A migration of local vulnerable population to more secure regions has been seen as a response to cope with this extreme climate event.

Due to the connections between climate change, drought and migration the journal is producing a special issue dedicated to this theme.
