West Africa’s vulnerability to climate change is influenced by a complex interplay of socio-economic and environmental factors, exacerbated the region’s reliance on rain-fed agriculture. Climate variability, combined with rapid population growth, intensifies existing challenges. Migration has become key adaptive response these challenges, enabling communities diversify livelihoods enhance resilience. However, spatial patterns migration in risks are not fully understood. Thus, study evaluates applicability IPCC risk assessment framework map predict Ghana Nigeria, focus identifying areas potential out-migration. By integrating geospatial environmental, socio-economic, data, highlights that have higher likelihood for current baseline near future (2050). Future modeled using CMIP6 projections under RCP4.5 scenario, while providing insight into exposure. The results from compared actual migrant motivations, ground-level perspective drivers. In northern elevated hazard, vulnerability, exposure scores suggest due overall faced population. This pattern projected persist future. responses indicate factors often play secondary role, cited more frequently as findings highlight importance developing localized adaptation strategies address specific needs vulnerable areas. Additionally, management community resilience support sustainable pathways will be critical addressing climate-induced
