In current debates about climate change, the
environment is often seen as a potential cause of violent conflicts.
According to this view, environmental degradation will significantly
increase the stress put on various societies, particularly in so-called
weak and fragile states, and thereby cause political destabilisation and
violence while jeopardising national and international security.
Drawing on research conducted within the Swiss National Centre of
Competence in Research (NCCR) North-South programme, this article shows
that establishing such direct causal links is simplistic and
reductionist.
