10/5, 13-15, Peace and Climate Change Adaptation in A319

In this lecture we discuss the relationship between climate change adaptation and peace. Does climate change adaptation generate conflicts, for example in relation to land-use, and diverging societal interests? Is there also a potential to build peace through climate change adaptation? What would be required of peaceful climate change adaptation?
