“…For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) has produced flood hazard maps at national scale for most countries in SSA [20]. Other initiatives have also produced climate change hot spot maps at national, continental and global scales [21][22][23][24], that show regions that are particularly vulnerable to current and future climate change impacts. However, these products suffer the limitation that they are only useful at the national, continental or global scales, and, thus, are of limited use and applicability at the local scale (e.g., district or community level) where small settlements are mostly the worst affected flood areas.…”

“…Although this paper is not concerned about which of resilience and vulnerability is dominant in climate conflict debates, we observe that a shift towards resilience cannot completely ignore discussions about vulnerability (Vivekananda et al, 2014). Resilience and vulnerability are inextricably linked -since to reduce vulnerability to climate conflict is to strengthen resilience (Busby et al, 2014a). Indeed, vulnerability seems to have emerged alongside resilience in climate conflict debates (Von Lucke et al, 2014).…”

“…Broadly, vulnerability is conceived as occurring and increasing conflict outcomes of climate change when and where individuals, communities and states lack the capacities necessary to end internal and external vulnerability drivers (Busby et al, 2014a;Kallis and Zografos, 2014). Adger's (2010) writing is a good example of how vulnerability is portrayed here, particularly through a human security framing.…”

“…Northern Africa, and the Sahel in particular, are known to be highly vulnerable to climate change (Low, 2005;Boko et al, 2007) with regional hotspots of high national to subnational differences in vulnerability (Busby et al, 2014). Food production is sensitive to changes in climate across tropical northern Africa, where economies strongly depend on agriculture or livestock.…”

“…Food production is sensitive to changes in climate across tropical northern Africa, where economies strongly depend on agriculture or livestock. When reduced precipitation and droughts affect water security and crop yield (Busby et al, 2014), human security for a growing population is at stake (Scheffran et al, 2012). In turn, climate in this region is affected by changes in land surface conditions (e.g.…”
