Briefs
Climate Conflict Action’s Policy Briefs and Thematic Papers provide researchers and policymakers with evidence-based analysis and nuanced solutions to conflict-related issues. These papers and briefs feature data-driven insights on how conflict develops and interacts with other causal dynamics, and how it can be mitigated and resolved.
