Climate-induced international migration and conflicts

Cristina Cattaneo (FEEM and CMCC), Valentina Bosetti (Bocconi University, FEEM and CMCC)

Population movements will help people facing the impact of climate change. However, the resulting large scale displacements may also produce security risks for receiving areas. The objective of this paper is to empirically estimate if the inflows of climate-induced migrants increase the risk of conflicts in receiving areas. Using data from 1960 to 2000, we show that climate-induced migrants are not an additional determinant of civil conflicts and civil wars in receiving areas.
