"Climate Change Induced-Heat Stress and Labour Reallocation in Burkina Faso: A CGE Analysis" by Houessou, Martial, Zuhal Elnour and Harald Grethe Abstract In Burkina Faso, the average temperature rises strongly, making it a hotspot for future climate-induced heat stress. High temperatures correlate with increased internal migration, with evidence of both rural-to-rural and rural-to-urban migration being observed. This trend will continue in a 2.5°C warming scenario by 2050. The locations where migrants are likely to relocate, considering climatic conditions and economic sectors, have not yet been investigated. We simulated these migration pathways using a general equilibrium model under a heat-induced labour productivity loss associated with a future +3°C global warming. Our findings suggest that heat-induced labour productivity loss would first harm the economy and reduce domestic production across sectors; subsequently, workers would react to the shock by relocating from the hotter Sahelian zone to other zones within agriculture. In the other sectors, workers would move into manufacturing and services. This evidence highlights the sectors and agroecological zones that require specific attention in response to climate migration. |
