Climate change has significant impacts on human displacements. This chapter reviews the economics literature on climate change impacts on migration with an emphasis on the agricultural linkage. The empirical literature has documented very mixed results o
This paper shows that international migration has had the border states of southern Mexico as destination, but increasingly they appear as transit regions and origin of migration to the United States of America, interrelated phenomena that have in common increased poverty because of climate change...

deteriorates during warmer periods. We project that unmitigated climate change (RCP8.5) could result in a combined 9–40 thousand additional suicides (95% confidence interval) across the United States and Mexico by 2050, representing a change in suicide rates comparable to the estimated impact of ...
sea levels, extreme heat, fires, flooding, and an increase in the strength of storms likehurricanes. The United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM)reportsthat estimates range from 25 million to a billion people who could be displaced by 2050 as the result of climate change. ...
