The authors investigate the Sahel's underexplored relationships between the location and timing of environmental and agricultural resource variability, and their impact on conflict.
We analyze the dynamics of rural land systems amid the 2017-2018 opium gumis price collapse through a multi-site approach in three neighboring municipalities in the Southern Highlands of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Using panel data from 2000 to 2018 for 992 counties located in humid zone in the south of China, this paper analyses the impact of seasonal rainfall fluctuations on rural poverty.
The authors combine data from household surveys, key informant interviews, and secondary sources related to regional disaster, demographic, resource, and economic trends between 1990 and 2020 from north central and central dryland Namibia to investigate (i) human migration flows and the influence of climate hazards on these flows and (ii) the benefits and dis-benefits of migration in supporting climate change adaptation, from the perspective of migrants (personal factors and intervening obstacles), areas of origin, and areas of destination.
To investigate whether young men’s exposure to drought and dust storms in 341 Great Plains counties was linked to a higher risk of death in early-old age, the author use a new, massive, linked mortality dataset drawn from CenSoc-DMF.
In this study, to look for possible connections between drought and rural population loss on the North American Great Plains between 1970 and 2020, the study uses machine learning techniques in the form of random forest and regression tree analyses.
For this study, 82 of a total of 190 households in the Rarh region (a region between Chota Nagpur Plateau and the Ganges Delta) of West Bengal were randomly selected for collection of data to investigates the importance of temporary migration as a coping strategy in times of drought.
This study examines the existing gender gap in climate change adaptations among farmers in Ethiopia and factors contributing to this relationship using data from 2279 farm households in Ethiopia and applying a multivariate probit model and exogenous switching treatment effect regression method.
This paper will discuss how and if climatic factors can be isolated from other factors to explain recent Honduran migration behavior, in order to move towards a holistic explanation of climate-driven migration by drawing on ethnographic studies of Honduran coffee farmers.
In this chapter, the authors show that there is a diversity of vulnerabilities in the sense that different groups of young people, who have different degrees of exposure to climate change and may have differentiated resources to deal with them. For this, they examine the threat of high temperatures in the agricultural sector and the differences in vulnerability between the profiles of young people employed in the sector in Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Chile.
