The authors investigate the Sahel's underexplored relationships between the location and timing of environmental and agricultural resource variability, and their impact on conflict.
Using panel data from 1996 to 2019, this paper explores the heterogeneous effect of urbanization and nonrenewable energy consumption on the environment in 54 African nations.
The article presented a case study of the Water–Employment–Migration (WEM) nexus framework. The authors undertook a comprehensive review of the relevant literature on the WEM nexus and complemented this secondary data with interviews with key informants from the institutions involved in the WEM nexus, as well as from youth organizations active in the Mediterranean region and working in the development sector.
The authors combine data from household surveys, key informant interviews, and secondary sources related to regional disaster, demographic, resource, and economic trends between 1990 and 2020 from north central and central dryland Namibia to investigate (i) human migration flows and the influence of climate hazards on these flows and (ii) the benefits and dis-benefits of migration in supporting climate change adaptation, from the perspective of migrants (personal factors and intervening obstacles), areas of origin, and areas of destination.
This study examines the existing gender gap in climate change adaptations among farmers in Ethiopia and factors contributing to this relationship using data from 2279 farm households in Ethiopia and applying a multivariate probit model and exogenous switching treatment effect regression method.
The authors analyzed census data to examine the spatial heterogeneity in drinking water sources and neighborhood income in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), the largest urban agglomeration in Ghana using the Shannon Entropy Index and the Index of Concentration at the Extremes at the enumeration area level.
From qualitative interviews conducted with people living in Tangier and Tinghir (Morocco) from March–May 2018, the main finding of this study is that people in the region of Tinghir are more exposed and sensitive to environmental change compared to those living in Tangier, which also affected the differential impact for men and women of these environmental changes.
Using Landsat images covering the area for 1986, 2000 and 2016, and social surveys (questionnaire administration and key informant interviews), this study examined change in the form and attributes of areas under different land cover in a relatively homogenous Yoruba ethnic group community in Southwestern Nigeria.
To analyze mechanisms controlling inter-district migration flows in South Africa and predict migration flows with higher accuracy, the study uses a a network model, the additive and multiplicative effects model for network (AMEN).
Using four waves of panel data collected as part of the Child Grant Programme in rural Zambia, the authors examine the connection between migration and the choice of firewood or charcoal as cooking fuel and finds evidence for both mechanisms.
