The central Sahel: climate change, migration and conflict

The effects of climate change will be particularly severe in the Sahel zone in the coming decades, with rising temperatures, possible widespread desertification and environmental degradation (IPCC, 2019). Policymakers, think tank reports and statements from international organizations point to a «th...

Policymakers, think tank reports and statements from international organizations point to a «threat multiplier» as an effect of climate change, which would lead to increased conflict and displacement (Tesfaye, 2022; World Bank, 2022). But the reasoning is less obvious than it seems. First, it is necessary to deepen the relationship between climate phenomena and mobility, and to reflect on the climate change-fragility-conflict nexus. Finally, it is necessary to identify what the main impacts of climate change will be and how they could affect conflict and migration. From a political ecology approach, the article focuses on the interaction between climate change, human mobility and conflict in the central Sahel, mainly in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.This article is based on the project entitled CASCADES that has received funding from the EU's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the grant agreement no. 821010.
