Abstract
Food riots and climate wars may appear to have entered into the popular lexicon only recently, but conflicts over natural resources, ranging from questions about who controls their extraction to issues around equitable distribution and sustainable use, have long been central to our understanding of many of the problems in divided societies. As climate change has emerged, a newly relevant question is if the ways in which societies, both shared and divided, have arranged how to deal with their environments are likely to remain viable. Many societies will be forced to deal with rapid and unforeseen shifts related to climate. These shifts are expected to be profound and not limited to the availability, quantity and quality of water and air or the movements of flora and fauna. So even though environmental conflicts are not new, or restricted to divided societies, it is reasonable to expect that the frequency and intensity of these conflicts is not likely to be reduced in the near future.
