Empirical evidence of climate-induced migration at global scales 1: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany; 2: University of Potsdam, Germany; 3: Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain; 4: Technical University Berlin, Germany Human migration is considered a potentially critical response to anthropogenic climate change. Yet, global quantitative evidence linking climate conditions to both internal and cross-border migration remains limited. Here we combine annual migration data from over 3,000 subnational regions across two decades with high-resolution climate metrics in fixed effects panel regressions. We find that higher temperatures, along with temperature and precipitation extremes, significantly increase outward migration from low-income regions. A complementary spatial spillover analysis shows temperature-driven migration toward high-income countries, while precipitation extremes lead to migration among low-income regions. Projections based on these estimates indicate high climate migration pressures by mid-century. | |
