What is the underlying structure of the climate, conflict, and socio-economic system in Zimbabwe? A network analysis
This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Zimbabwe, using network analysis. Results show that agricultural land ownership and wealth inequalities are among the major factors placed at the intersection of climate variabilities and conflicts. These two themes further govern poverty and food insecurity.
This publication is part of a factsheet series reporting on the findings of the CGIAR FOCUS Climate Security Observatory work in Africa (Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe). The research is centered around 5 questions: 1. How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict? 2. Where are hotspots of climate insecurities ? 3.What is the underlying structure of the climate, conflict, and socio-economic system? 4. Are climate and security policies coherent and integrated? 5. Are policy makers aware of the climate security nexus?
