Climate hazards have affected armed conflict within countries , but the influence of climate is small compared to socioeconomic, political and cultural factors . Climate increases conflict risk by undermining food and water security, income and livelihoods in situations where there are large populations, weather-sensitive economic activities, weak institutions and high levels of poverty and inequality . In urban areas, food and water insecurity and inequitable access to services has been associated with civil unrest where there are weak institutions . Climate hazards are associated with increased violence against women, girls and vulnerable groups, and the experience of armed conflict is gendered . Adaptation and mitigation projects implemented without consideration of local social dynamics have exacerbated non-violent conflict  .
