Iran This climate fact sheet summarizes the available information on the climate of Iran and the impact of climate change on humanitarian activities in-country. [...] The diverse and varied geography of Iran means that it is exposed to a broad array of environmental hazards (hydrometeorological as well as geophysical) which are directly impacted and exacerbated by the impacts of climate change across the country. [...] It makes many mentions of climate change and climate projections and their implications for hazard frequency and severity in the country. [...] The challenges of migration and urbanization in the country include poverty, pollution in large cities, informal settlements, and a lack of assistance to migrants in destination cities (Mahmoudian, 2016).
