This paper studies how changes in climatic variables such as temperature and rainfall impact migration through agriculture. Bangladesh is recognized as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change because of its unique geographical location. UNDP identifies Bangladesh as the most vulnerable country to tropical cyclones and the 6th most vulnerable country to floods. These climate-change induced conditions have direct bearing on the livelihood of the people. Among other, migration, both internal and international has emerged as one of the most frequently used coping strategies to mitigate income shocks. This study systematically investigates the impact of climate change on migration.
