This study is based on data collected through interviews with 3,418 migrants held in September and October 2023 in Libya. It shows how climate change acts as a threat multiplier, exacerbating the vulnerabilities of migrants in their countries of origin and in Libya. The data suggests that climate-related events are indirect migration drivers through their negative impact on local economies and workers, particularly those reliant on agriculture. A quarter of migrants interviewed had experienced at least one climatic shock or stressor in the year prior to migrating to Libya.
