Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wind-driven disc evolution has proven to be a viable alternative to the traditional viscous disc evolution paradigm. Understanding the evolution of protoplanetary discs is crucial for understanding planet formation as they deliver the material from which planets form. Additionally, gravitational interactions between forming planets and the protoplanetary disc lead to planetary migration. Recent 3D hydrodynamical simulations including the effects of a wind-driven accretion layer have shown that in MHD wind-driven discs, planetary accretion and migration can differ significantly from the classical viscous scenario. So far, however, global models for planet formation still rely on the viscous disc evolution paradigm. Here, we present the first global model for planet formation that integrates MHD wind-driven disc evolution and recent insights into planetary migration within wind-driven discs. We find that the thickness and evolution of the accretion layer has a big influence on the emerging planet population.
