Mapping Climate Change and Security in North Africa

In this audio slideshow, Dr. Joshua Busby from the University of Texas at Austin summarizes his original research on how climate change may intersect with demographic, social, and political influences in North Africa. Using geographic information systems, he explores how climate change interacts with problems of conflict, migration, terrorism, and humanitarian disasters and showed how regions in northern Africa, where governance is weak and there is little resilience to climate change at the household and community levels, are more vulnerable to climate change.
