Being insufficiently aware of the conflict dynamics may inadvertently…

Climate, peace, and security in fishery management: A participatory appraisal of Kenya’s Lake Victoria fishery.
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134757
Abstract
The link between climate change and conflict has been widely studied in the past decade. Despite empirical evidence leading to ambiguous, sometimes contradictory, conclusions, it is generally accepted that climate-related security risks are manifested through a non-linear and complex interplay between climate threats, sources of vulnerability, and drivers of conflict. The effects…

Abstract
Heat and drought are increasingly reducing bean production in most key areas worldwide. There is thus a justified need to increase variability in genebank collections for two species, P. acutifolius and P. filiformis, well known for tolerance to these stressors. The genebanks of USDA and CIAT currently hold less than five unique accessions of these two species from New Mexico, a state for which there are records since 1851. The compilation…
