- Food security and conflict: Empirical challenges and future opportunities for research and policy making on food security and conflict (2019, background): “Subsequent studies have thus sought to predict the consequences of climate change on violence levels by extrapolating from historical temperature and rainfall trends in rural Africa (e.g. Gleditsch, 2012; Hendrix and Salehyan, 2012; Raleigh and Kniveton, 2012; Theisen, 2012).”
- Natural Resources and Violent Conflict (2014, background): “A recent issue of the Journal of Peace Research (Gleditsch 2012) is devoted to the relation between weather shocks (climate change induced or otherwise) and arrives at the conclusion that the evidence supporting the hypothesis that droughts or temperature shocks cause conflict ismixed, at best.”
- Demand, supply, and restraint: Determinants of domestic water conflict and cooperation (2014, neutral): “…little evidence for a powerful direct link between climate change or variability and armed conflict (Bernauer et al., 2012b; Deligiannis, 2012; Gleditsch, 2012; Scheffran et al., 2012; Meierding, 2013; Theisen et al., 2011; however, see also Hsiang et al., 2013), however, and research that…”
- Climate shocks and political violence (2014, background): “Although there is still considerable scholarly debate over whether and how environmental factors influence conflict (Author cite; Gleditsch, 2012), there is growing evidence that climate and climatic events can have far-reaching impacts on economic and political outcomes.”
- The Militarisation and Marketisation of Nature: An Alternative Lens to ‘Climate-Conflict’ (2014, background): “Concerns with climate conflict bloomed when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and Jeffery Sachs in 2007 pointed to climate change as the principle cause of violence and poverty in Darfur(9); a position later echoed by US President Obama in his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize speech.(10) A large body of litera”
