Climate change and conflict: agriculture, migration and institutions.

Abstract This chapter briefly discusses the direct social effects of climate change before giving an overview of the quantitative literature on the climate-conflict nexus, pointing to certain limitations in how conflict is currently analysed. A general discussion of suggested linkages between climate change and conflict is presented, before turning to a more focused discussion on the role of migration and institutions as intermediate factors within the climate-conflict link. The chapter ends with a cautionary note on the ethical aspects of very detailed data on mobility and recommendations to better integrate insights from studies using qualitative methods.
