Resumen
Descripción
This factsheet gives answers on how global climate research addresses the dynamics between climate, socio-economic factors, and conflict, and how the countries in focus for the Climate Security Observatory are represented in this literature. The analysis has found that while the literature is cognisant of the mechanisms by which climate exacerbates the risk for conflicts, there is still space for research that aims to disentangle the complexity of the climate security nexus.
This publication is part of a factsheet series reporting on the findings of the CGIAR FOCUS Climate Security Observatory work in Africa (Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe). The research is centered around 5 questions: 1. How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict? 2. Where are hotspots of climate insecurities ? 3.What is the underlying structure of the climate, conflict, and socio-economic system? 4. Are climate and security policies coherent and integrated? 5. Are policy makers aware of the climate security nexus?
