Abstract Climate change negatively impacts agricultural production influencing the rural-to-urban migration options of the population. In this study, we investigate the effects of expected climate change on population distribution and outmigration from rural areas of the Northeast region of Brazil (NEB) over the coming decades under different socioeconomic and climate scenarios. Demographic projection models to 2060 were created based on assumptions of future fertility, mortality, migration, and educational transition. Results reveal that changes in rural population size and composition and rural outmigration may emerge depending on future climatic conditions, agricultural income, and education. The highly-educated population can adapt with changes in climate and avoid income loss while earnings of those with lower education are reduced. The latter's outmigration option is also limited because of lower qualifications. Policies should support economically vulnerable populations especially those dependent on agriculture. Also, policies must accommodate alternative climate change scenarios and their consequences on rural population displacement.
Highlights Population projections contribute to identifying the vulnerabilities of populations. Population scenarios are useful to explore the global climate change challenges. Climate change influences the rural-to-urban migration options of the population. Changes in rural population size emerge depending on future climatic conditions. Education is an important component in shaping future rural population distribution.
