Abstract: Data on migration shows Europe to be an important destination for people from certain African countries, alongside large intra-African movement of people. We explore what this migration means economically for populations in both host and source regions while not losing sight of the other key global challenges as captured by the SDGs. By building on a full-fledged SSP2 scenario (the business-as-usual scenario in climate change assessments) this study is the first step of towards explicitly including migration in ex-ante analyses on the climate-food nexus.
