Bridging Research and Policy on Climate Change and Conflict.

Purpose Of Review: This special issue on "Bridging Research and Policy on Climate Change and Conflict" brings together the results of a 2018 workshop organized by the Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) and the Wilson Center with six papers that address different aspects of the translation of the research on climate change and conflict to policy and practice. Here, we provide an overview of the workshop and papers to highlight key opportunities and challenges to linking the climate-conflict scholarship with pressing issues in diplomacy, development, and security.

Recent Findings: Multiple methods, especially comparative case studies, should be applied to elucidate the more complex mechanisms of the climate-conflict link.
