Overview

Longitudinal analysis reveals governance capacity and climate change drive natural resource-related conflict across 176 nation-states, highlighting climate as an active threat multiplier.

Key Points

  • To investigate whether climate change amplifies the impact of natural resource pressures on internal state conflict, contingent on national governance capacity.
  • Interdisciplinary longitudinal analysis integrating physical and social science public datasets across the years 1995–2018.
  • Sample comprised N = 176 nation-states to evaluate interactions among natural resources, governance metrics, and climate indicators.
  • Governance capacity remains the central mediating factor governing how natural resource pressures translate into internal conflict.
  • Climate change acts as a significant threat multiplier, amplifying the destabilizing effects of resource stress in states with weaker institutional capacity.
