Migration dynamics: impact of climate change

Climate change is significantly affecting human migration. The CliC:ME dashboard provides comprehensive insights into how environmental shifts drive human mobility. Using high quality data, robust methodologies and interactive tools, CliC:ME reveals migration patterns influenced by rising sea levels, extreme weather events and heat exposure.

Resilience building: impact of climate migration

Our dashboard explores the socio-economic impacts of climate change on migration, showing effects on economies, infrastructure and communities. It equips policymakers, researchers and global citizens with data to make informed decisions and foster resilience against climate change.

Senegal’s climate poverty and migration by 2050: the price of inaction

Explore the potential effects of climate change on Senegal’s economy and population movements, using a spatially pixelated model of the world economy.

Climate change is projected to significantly influence human mobility in Senegal from 2030 to 2050 under the RCP7.0 scenario. Dakar will gain nearly 500,000 adults, with a gender imbalance (300,000 men vs. 200,000 women). Thies, Sedhiou and Louga will each gain 20,000 to 30,000 inhabitants, with Thies primarily attracting men. Kedougou and Matam will lose around 100,000 and 90,000 inhabitants, respectively, mostly men.

Regional mobility dominates as international moves remain limited

Most migration will be across administrative regions, with local migration decreasing by 40,000 people and playing a minor role in climate-related movement.

Internationally, approximately 133,000 people will migrate — mainly to Italy, France and Spain — while 136,000 will choose to stay in Senegal, preferring immobility over moving to Mauretania and Gambia. Senegal will gain 47,000 people from Mauretania and lose a few thousand from Mali, Gambia and France. Overall, Senegal will gain 27,000 men but lose 23,000 women over this period.

Climate change will increase extreme poverty in Senegal by 2050, disproportionately affecting women and vulnerable regions.

In 2050, the RCP7.0 scenario projects an increase in extreme poverty in Senegal of 2 percentage points, adding 400,000 more adults living on less than $2.15 a day. Women are slightly more vulnerable, with a 2 percentage point increase (196,000 individuals), compared with a 1.87 percentage point rise for men (189,000 individuals). While Dakar, Diourbel and Thies will be minimally affected, Tambacounda, Kedougou and Kaffrine will see extreme poverty rates rise by 10.9 and 7 percentage points, respectively. These increases are notably higher than the averages for Africa (0.6 percentage points) and the world (1.1 percentage points, dominated by Asian countries).
