The impact of climate migration on climate finance 1: KU Leuven, Department of Economics, Belgium; 2: Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research, Oslo; 3: Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford This paper analyses the interactions between climate-induced migration, mitigation policy, and adaptation finance. Migration triggered by climate damages shifts abatement burdens across regions: when people move from low-emitting developing countries to high-emitting industrialised ones, mitigation becomes more demanding in the destination region while easing in the source. We develop a stylised two-region model in which the North can provide adaptation finance to the South to reduce migration pressures, transforming adaptation from a private to a quasi-public good. The analysis considers both altruistic and self-interested preferences in the North and is complemented by illustrative simulations. We show that even in a self-interested world, climate-induced migration generates incentives for adaptation finance, reframing it as potentially mutually beneficial. | |
