Marotzke, J., Semmann, D. & Milinski, M. The economic interaction between climate change mitigation, climate migration and poverty. Nat. Clim. Chang. 10, 518–525 (2020)

Objective:

• How poverty induces migration from a poor to a rich country- with and without randomly occurring climate events in the poor country, under both overall richer and poorer harvest conditions - and how this affects the prevention of dangerous climate change

Case:

• Germany

Methodology:

• Regression

Data Source

• Survey

Findings:

• Migration instigated by poverty or by a climate extreme event cannot, in the long run, be prevented

• The willingness of rich participants to contribute to climate mitigation is largest right when the poor are hit by a climate extreme event, exacerbating their poverty
