Climate Change and Violent Conflict: Uncertain Knowledge about Causal Connection and the Necessity for Adaptation Measures and the Prevention of Violence
2009
Overview
The research program on 'environmental security' is still lacking evidence about the existence of a direct or indirect causal link between environmental depletion and violent conflict management. The knowledge about the impact of climate change on the evolution of new causes of conflict is just as much incomplete as information about factors which contribute to peaceful or violent conflict management. Peace and conflict studies will have to analyze the possible influence of climate change on the evolution of causes of conflict. In addition, the view of research must be directed on adaptation measures and the prevention of violent conflicts. The fragility of statehood and state failure are phenomena which are particularly affecting the ability of developing countries to adapt to climate change and to develop measures for the prevention of violent conflict. Many developing countries will have to develop such measures on the domestic or international level as they are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Adapted from the source document.
