Fragility & Climate Change Feedback Loop
CLIMATE & CONFLICT
Climate Change Fragility
Effects of climate change increased stress on state-societal relationship (level of fragility)
Fragility contributes to the level of vulnerability to the effects of climate change

Case Study PEACE III
![Page 18: TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER - Home | Global Climate Change · TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER. Addressing the role of climate change in conflict dynamics. Maurice Amollo. Chief](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fccfc7e708231d445f29d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PEACE III Implementation areas
The Karamoja RegionCLIMATE & CONFLICT
One of the poorest areas Globally
Home to 14 pastoralist ethnic groups
Environmental factors, combined with limited natural resources, fraying infrastructure, shrinking transit routes and low literacy rates = to cross border conflict and minimal economic development
Conflict has reduced communities’ ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change
Climate change has the unintended consequence of creating an urgency to act in unison
![Page 19: TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER - Home | Global Climate Change · TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER. Addressing the role of climate change in conflict dynamics. Maurice Amollo. Chief](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fccfc7e708231d445f29d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Karamoja Climate TrendsCLIMATE & CONFLCIT
TEMPERATURE TRENDS• Increase in average temperature of 1.3°C, with increases in both
minimum (0.9°C) and maximum (1.6°C) temperatures (1975-2009).• Increase in average number of days with extreme heat of 20-
28% between 1960 and 2003.RAINFALL TRENDS• Decreased reliability of rainy season, with early cessation in
Kotido and Kaabong, and earlier onset/later cessation in Napak andAbim (the latter suggesting an expansion of the growing season).
• Reduction in total annual rainfall of 15-20%, with a shorter rainyseason.
• Increases in June, September-October rainfall.• The area suffers from recurrent drought

Objectives1. Strengthen local cross-border conflict management 2. Improve the responsiveness of regional and national
institutions to cross-border conflict
ApproachStrengthen horizontal and vertical linkages between local, national, and regional conflict management actors.

PEACE III Summary

PEACE III Model of Change
![Page 22: TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER - Home | Global Climate Change · TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER. Addressing the role of climate change in conflict dynamics. Maurice Amollo. Chief](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fccfc7e708231d445f29d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
At the heart of the PEACE III approach was the recognition that the shared experiences of climate change as a unique risk demand cooperation.
Resolving Conflicts & helping people adapt to Climate Change

![Page 23: TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER - Home | Global Climate Change · TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER. Addressing the role of climate change in conflict dynamics. Maurice Amollo. Chief](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fccfc7e708231d445f29d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Theory of change• If we can bring communities to
cooperatively manage scarce resources (Violence drops/Better resource management)
• Increased environment of peace provides a greater opportunity to employ climate adaptability strategies.

Climate Change Perspectives
Climate change as risk
CLIMATE & CONFLICT
Climate change as an opportunity to cooperatively address differences.

Focal Area 2: Enhanced climate knowledge
CLIMATE & CONFLICT
• Built climate knowledge in target communities through workshops and curricula that incorporated discussion of both traditional knowledge and current climate science
![Page 27: TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER - Home | Global Climate Change · TACKLING THE THREAT MULTIPLIER. Addressing the role of climate change in conflict dynamics. Maurice Amollo. Chief](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fccfc7e708231d445f29d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Focal Area 3: Resource Sharing Agreements
CLIMATE & CONFLICT
• Resource-sharing agreements between conflicting communities- helped them cope and adapt by agreeing on access norms and recognizing common threats
• In Lake Turkana, cross-border agreements between Kenyans and Ethiopians are making fishing a safer and more prosperous livelihood, leading some pastoralists to become fishermen instead

Recommendations
1. Promotion of intra- and inter-governmental cooperation.
2. Need to develop local climate-conflict analyses to identify targeted interventions
