Personal accounts of climate-related conflict

MediaStorm produced for this nice video story for Yale's Environment 360 (there is a written discussion here as well).

For people like me who study climate-induced conflict with statistics and mathematical models, it's important to stay in touch with these personal stories of the people who suffer through these events.


As temperatures rise and water supplies dry up, semi-nomadic tribes along the Kenyan-Ethiopian border increasingly are coming into conflict with each other. When the Water Ends focuses on how worsening drought will pit groups and nations against one another. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/clients/when-the-water-ends-for-yale360
