Climate Change and Conflict

Thu, August 29, 10:00 to 11:30am, Hilton, Jefferson East

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

Do climatic changes and extremes affect the risk and dynamics of violent conflict? Will the trajectory of future climate change shape global conflict propensity? This panel explores key security implications of climate change along multiple dimensions, spanning various levels of spatial resolution from grid cells to countries; various temporal scopes from snapshots to end-of-century projections; and various scientific tools from regression models via simulations to machine-learning. Moreover, panel participants range from the next generation of experts to established leaders in the field, representing prominent institutions across six countries in Europe and the US. Together, the presentations will showcase cutting-edge research on climate security and present new insights to pressing questions with immediate relevance for policy and practice.
