  abstract = {{T}his paper combines population census data and climate data to estimate the volume of
migrations induced by the drought events that have hit {M}ali since the late 1980s. {T}he results
show that the droughts that have unevenly acted the regions of {M}ali have had the ect
of increasing migration from rural to urban areas. {T}his is true for both men and women,
regardless of the age group considered. {B}etween 1998 and 2009, droughts translate into an
additional net outow of 7,134 male and 6,281 female rural migrants per year. {T}he ect of
drought episodes, however, differs according to localities and rural households'capacity to adapt
to climatic constraints: it fades in localities characterized by more diversied crops and in those
located in the {S}udano-{S}ahelian and {S}udano-{G}uinean zones that receive more rainfall on average.
{C}limate shocks also had an impact on international mobility: over the 2004-2009 period, around
2,000 additional departures per year can be attributed to the dry episodes that hit {M}ali during
the 2000s. {W}e forecast that, under dirent climate scenarios and population growth projection,
internal and international mobility induced by droughts events will substantially grow in the
next decades.},
