DESCRIPTION:Migration is one of the most consequential disruptions to huma
 n society anticipated under climate change. Empirical evidence of climate-
 induced migration is\, however\, typically focused on individual regions\,
  rendering global assessments of the scale of this issue challenging. We h
 ere provide such a quantification in a causal framework by leveraging rich
  migration data from more than 3000 sub-national regions worldwide and the
  past 20 years with detailed analysis of climate exposure. Both\, warming 
 and exposure to extremes induce outward migration from poorer regions acro
 ss the globe. Explicit assessment of cross-border flows confirms migration
  from poor to rich countries. With climate change amplifying these effects
 \, we project about 200 million climate migrants from low-income regions b
 y mid-century due to rising temperatures as well heat and rainfall extreme
 s.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nDr. Leonie Wenz is deputy head of the Complexit
 y Science department at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research 
 (PIK). A mathematician by training\, Leonie earned her PhD in 2016 with a 
 dissertation at the intersection of climate physics and economics. Afterwa
 rds\, she did a Postdoc in Natural and Resource Economics at UC Berkeley. 
 In her research\, Leonie focusses on the societal and economic impacts of 
 climate change with the aim of informing mitigation and adaptation pathway
 s. Her findings have been published in\, among others\, Nature\, Science\,
  PNAS\, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management\, and The Lancet
  Planetary Health.\nSpeakers:\nDr Leonie Wenz (Potsdam Institute for Clima
 te Impact Research)
