Abstract
Human populations are migrating as a result of climate change. We conducted a systematic
literature review examining the relationship between several climate hazards and migration flows.
We reviewed 58 empirical studies between 2010 and 2023 that examined current and future
migration related to acute and long-term climate hazards. The results indicate that the relationship
between climate hazards and migration is diverse and depends on a range of socio-economic
factors. Droughts and rising temperatures have a major impact on both international and domestic
migration. Our review also reveals that multiple climate hazards collectively tend to intensify
domestic migration toward urban areas, especially in agriculturally dependent regions. A better
understanding of migration patterns and the climate hazards that drive them can inform global
policy and preparedness for climate migration.
