Abstract
Abstract The main issue of the study was to determine the importance of the climate factor for migration flows in Russia, as well as its impact on the intraregional level. The article also discusses the possible prospects that global warming may bring to Siberia. According to the results, the climate factor does not have a crucial influence on the decision to relocate in Russia, but it remains one of the most important, along with economic, social and political factors. At the regional level, the climate factor is less important than the agglomeration factor and others. The impact of global warming has now affected the overall increase in temperatures in Siberia, which is not yet sufficient to generate additional migration flows.
Highlights
Throughout the history of humankind, climate has undoubtedly played an important role in the development of civilisation
The impact is less obvious on relatively regulated international migration, which is mainly directed from regions with more comfortable climates to countries with worse climatic conditions
Errors in migration statistics are usually corrected after conducting all-Russian population censuses, which take into account only the actual location of citizens
Summary
Throughout the history of humankind, climate has undoubtedly played an important role in the development of civilisation. Researchers ended up constructing economic, migratory and other models that assign a secondary role to the climate factor (Piguet et al 2011). Migration and population change in various regions of the world are among the most important processes that are significantly affected by climate. In territories that do not have strict migration control, the climate can have a much greater impact and even partially smooth out historical and economic factors, as in the case of mass internal migration in the United States (Partridge 2010) and increasing international migration within the EU (Cheshire, Magrini 2006)
