Interlinkages between climate and conflicts: the naturalisation of political phenomena (S07 E09)

What do we know about interlinkages between Climate Change and conflicts? Surprisingly, academic research shows that proving that Climate Change triggers conflicts is often challenging. In the newest episode of the #PeaceCornerPodcast, CSPPS intern Victor interviews Clionadh Raleigh, political violence and geography professor and president of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) Project. They discuss the necessity of considering political factors when thinking about conflicts in the Global South. Tune in to learn more about the deep roots of the herder-farmer conflicts in the Sahel - including land property issues - and how to deal with climate change in conflict-affected settings. The Peace Corner Podcast is an initiative of UNOY, CSPPS & GPPAC
