Rebel Governance in the Age of Climate Change
In many areas experiencing severe impacts from climate change, it is not the state, but rather rebel groups who wield authority over populations.Rebels are often engaged in responding and adapting to the risks and impacts of climate change as part of their local governance efforts; however, a systematic consideration of the activities and implications has been lacking.This Element looks at a set of behaviors we call "rebel environmental governanc…
Climate change will surprise us, but so-called ‘tipping points’ may lead us astray
With the world already experiencing dangerous climate change, decarbonization and climate adaptation are urgent challenges. The potential for even more rapid and irreversible changes augments this urgency. To emphasize the need for rapid climate action, some researchers have labeled such potential changes as “tipping points.” But the increasingly broad application of this term across biogeophysical and social phenomena muddles its meaning, and it…

AI and Climate Change
At the recent international negotiations on climate change in Dubai in 2023, the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to play a critical role in addressing climate challenges was recognized through the initiative “AI for Climate Action (#AI4ClimateAction).” Launched by the Technology Mechanism—established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—this initiative is focused on accelerating the implementation of…
Research priorities for climate mobility
The escalating impacts of climate change on the movement and immobility of people, coupled with false but influential narratives of mobility, highlight an urgent need for nuanced and synthetic research around climate mobility. Synthesis of evidence and gaps across the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report highlight a need to clarify the understanding of what conditions make human mobility an effective adaptation…
Dynamics of organized violence in the wake of tropical cyclones
Recent research highlights how the same vulnerabilities that lead to disasters also condition the impact of hazards on violent conflict. Yet it is common practice in the literature to proxy rapid-onset hazards with disaster impacts when studying political violence. This can bias upward estimates of hazard–conflict relationships and obscure heterogeneous effects, with implications for forecasting as well as disaster risk reduction and peace-buildi…
The ‘conflict trap’ reduces economic growth in the shared socioeconomic pathways
Armed conflict and economic growth are inherently coupled; armed conflict substantially reduces economic growth, while economic growth is strongly correlated with a reduction in the propensity of armed conflict. Here, we simulate the incidence of armed conflict and its effect on economic growth simultaneously along the economic pathways defined by the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). We argue that gross domestic product per capita projection…

A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
Climate mitigation policies and the potential pathways to conflict: Outlining a research agenda
Climate policies will need to incentivize transformative societal changes if they are to achieve emission reductions consistent with 1.5°C temperature targets. To contribute to efforts for aligning climate policy with broader societal goals, specifically those related to sustainable development, we identify the effects of climate mitigation policy on aspects of socioeconomic development that are known determinants of conflict and evaluate the pla…
Migration towards Bangladesh coastlines projected to increase with sea-level rise through 2100
To date, projections of human migration induced by sea-level change (SLC) largely suggest large-scale displacement away from vulnerable coastlines. However, results from our model of Bangladesh suggest counterintuitively that people will continue to migrate toward the vulnerable coastline irrespective of the flooding amplified by future SLC under all emissions scenarios until the end of this century. We developed an empirically calibrated agent-b…
Perspectives on tipping points in integrated models of the natural and human Earth system: Cascading effects and telecoupling
The Earth system and the human system are intrinsically linked. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have led to the climate crisis, which is causing unprecedented extreme events and could trigger Earth system tipping elements. Physical and social forces can lead to tipping points and cascading effects via feedbacks and telecoupling, but the current generation of climate-economy models do not generally take account of these interactions and fee…
An inter-comparison of the social costs of air quality from reduced-complexity models
Reliable estimates of externality costs—such as the costs arising from premature mortality due to exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 )—are critical for policy analysis. To facilitate broader analysis, several datasets of the social costs of air quality have been produced by a set of reduced-complexity models (RCMs). It is much easier to use the tabulated marginal costs derived from RCMs than it is to run ‘state-of-the-science’ chemical t…
Forecasting civil conflict along the shared socioeconomic pathways
Climate change and armed civil conflict are both linked to socioeconomic development, although conditions that facilitate peace may not necessarily facilitate mitigation and adaptation to climate change. While economic growth lowers the risk of conflict, it is generally associated with increased greenhouse gas emissions and costs of climate mitigation policies. This study investigates the links between growth, climate change, and conflict by simu…
Conflict Diamonds: A New Dataset
Natural resources, and diamonds especially, are commonly believed to play a significant role in the onset and duration of armed civil conflict. Although there is ample case study evidence that diamonds and similar resources have been used by rebel groups to finance fighting, there are few systematic empirical studies assessing the role of lootable resources in civil conflict. This is largely due to lack of reliable data on production and location…
A Diamond Curse: Civil War and a Lootable Resource
While territory, oil, and water are frequently mentioned as resources likely to promote interstate conflict, diamonds have emerged as a prominent factor in explanations of civil war. In this article, the authors report on a new database on diamond deposits and production and analyze the relationship between diamonds and armed conflict incidence. They find a strong bivariate relationship between diamonds (particularly secondary diamonds) and the o…
A Critique of Soil Contamination and Remediation: The Dimensions of the Problem and the Implications for Sustainable Development
Contaminated land is a global concern and can be considered a major barrier to sustainable development. The purpose of this article is to examine how the technological, economic, environmental, social, legal, and political framework of contaminated sites and the current remediation strategies hinder progress toward sustainability. Conflicts between various dimensions of sustainability reveal that the only long-term solution to this problem is pre…
