Project Summary:
The program aims to consolidate existing research on environmental stresses, such as water scarcity and climate change, to uncover knowledge gaps. Using quantitative meta-analyses, it will provide insights into how specific stresses, like drought, escalate violence compared to non-drought conditions. By engaging experts and decision-makers through strategic foresight activities, the program will explore future scenarios shaped by planetary changes, offering a foundation for informed policy decisions. Policymakers will gain actionable strategies to address the interconnected challenges of forests, water, food security, and energy. This approach promotes sustainable development, strengthens resilience, and mitigates environmental risks for a greener, more secure future.
