In March 2018, the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and the Wilson Center co-hosted a conversation between policymakers and academic researchers to investigate how to improve the translation of scholarship on climate change and conflict to address pressing policy challenges in diplomacy, development and security. Following presentations led by academic experts, participants engaged in discussion on the synthesis of the evidence on climate and conflict risks and long-term scenarios, the pathways from food production and livelihood to instability, and the links between land rights, conflict and climate policy.
