Climate Change, Environmental Degradation and Armed Conflict
This research paper examines the relationship between local-level environmental degradation, demographic pressures, and internal armed conflict from 1990 to 2004. Using a geospatial grid analysis of 100km x 100km squares globally, the authors find that while population density is a strong predictor of conflict, the effects of land degradation and water scarcity are relatively weak and often secondary to political and economic factors such as GDP and regime stability.
