Fig. 3: The combined impact of climate baseline and economic conditions on the Sensitivity of International Migration to Climate (SIMC).

The impact is determined by the difference between the real SIMC and the estimated SIMC from the idealized model. An opposite sign between the estimated and observed SIMC indicates that climate baseline or economic factors have minimal influence on SIMC in that country. The bar plot in the left lower corner denotes the percentage for each category. A matching sign, with the estimated SIMC being greater (smaller) than the observed value, suggests the model overestimates (underestimates) the impact of these factors on international migration. For calculation details, refer to the Methods section.
