![](/sites/default/files/styles/publications_sidebar/public/publication-covers/IPA_MALI.pdf.jpg?itok=19Vk8225)
This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Mali, using an impact pathway analysis. Three main impact pathways are identified: 1) Resource availability and livelihood insecurity ; 2) Farmer-herder conflict in the Inner Niger Delta; 3)Mobility and resource competition in the South.
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?
