This rapid literature review explores the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on conflict in the Sahel, with focus on Mali and Niger. It goes beyond discussions looking at direct causes of conflict, to focus on the indirect impacts of climate change and environmental degradation on conflict and violence – e.g. how it can exacerbate the drivers of conflict, and the conditions that shape whether, when, where, and what form of conflict will break out.
