Climate change, if not a direct cause of geopolitical instability, has a major impact, especially in the Sahel region.
One of my colleagues and I published a paper on this in the Brookings Institution. I am also the main author of the recent report by the United Nations Development Programme, or UNDP, which explains the links between climate change and the sustainable development solution.
It is true that solving issues related to climate change will reduce the risk of conflict, among other things, because climate change has direct impacts, including on well-being and the availability of resources.
Thank you.
