Climate Change and Conflict in West African Cities: A Policy Brief on Findings From Lagos, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana
To address the relative lack of research on climate-conflict linkages in large urban areas, USAID asked the Foundation for Environmental Security and Sustainability (FESS) to conduct a case study on two major West African cities – Lagos, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana. Field research was carried out for the case study in June and August 2013, and this policy brief presents the findings on the central questions addressed by that investigation: Are the effects of climate change likely to lead to chaotic and conflictive scenarios in West African cities? If so, under what circumstances and over what time frame; and are there preventive actions that governments and donors should take?

Follow the Water: Emerging Issues of Climate Change and Conflict in Peru
This study explores how the effects of climate change on water quantity, quality, and access may be factoring into aspects of localized instability, fragility, and conflict in Peru. To help guide the methodological approach, FESS developed a seven-phase framework—the Climate Change and Conflict Assessment Framework (CCCAF). The framework emphasizes one of the main conclusions of recent conflict analysis: conflict is always the result of the interactions of multiple political, economic, social, historical, and cultural factors, and these must be taken into account in any analysis. Moreover, the quality of governance and the resilience of political, economic, and social institutions all mediate the relationship between environmental change and conflict in important ways. The influence of climate change and climate-related policy and program responses on instability and conflict can only be understood within this web of relationships.

USAID Climate Change and Development Strategy 2012-2016
USAID’s work on climate change fits into a larger domestic and international policy context and is guided by Administration policy as developed in the President’s Global Development Policy, the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review, USAID Forward, and the GCCI. Additionally, USAID’s Policy Framework 20112015 defines the following as one of seven Core Development Objectives for the Agency: Reduce Climate Change Impacts and Promote Low Emissions Growth. USAID has a long history of programming in sectors relevant to climate change and will draw lessons learned from this history to shape efforts under this strategy. The goal of USAID’s 2012-2015 Climate Change and Development Strategy is to enable countries to accelerate their transition to climate resilient low emission sustainable economic development.
