ABOUT THE EVENT

How has climate change impacted global migration patterns? In a new paper, Ana María Ibáñez, Andrea Velasquez, and Jimena Romero link weather shocks to rising international migration. The study examines temperature shocks in El Salvador and their impact on domestic agricultural production, the labor market of agricultural workers, and migration to the US despite anti-immigrant political climate.

Ibáñez and Velasquez will join CGD for an online presentation of the paper in which they will discuss the methodology, results, and policy implications for climate mitigation and Northern Triangle migration.
