More complex conflict drivers than environment and climate

Abstract

While there is a connection between climate variability and conflict in Sudan, the effects are played out in interaction with other conflict-promoting factors as is clearly seen in Darfur.

However, ways out of the livelihoods-conflict cycle will require political and economic changes and the support of wider systems of good governance that do not exist today.
