Transforming local natural resource conflicts to cooperation in a changing climate: Bangladesh and Nepal lessons

Abstract: Since the 1990s, climate change impact discourse has highlighted potential for large scale violent conflicts. However, the role of climate stresses on local conflicts over natural resources, the role of policies and adaptation in these conflicts, and opportunities to enhance cooperation have been neglected. These gaps are addressed in this paper using evidence from participatory action research on 79 cases of local collective action over natural resources that experience conflicts in Bangladesh and Nepal.

“…Achieving true inclusivity in climate change adaptation is a paramount global challenge. The poor and the vulnerable groups remain marginalized and oppressed with the adaptation programs sometimes contributing to their vulnerabilities as elites sometimes leverage even climate change to their benefit by capitalizing on policy gaps to capture resources (Sultana et al 2019), with the politicization of new projects funneling the project benefits to the well-connected, and with threats of violence exacerbating the issue (Nagoda and Nightingale 2017). Given that formal inclusion of vulnerable households alone may not elevate their influence in decision-making beyond negligible (Ojha et al 2014;Ojha et al 2016), inclusion remains largely symbolic (Nagoda and Nightingale 2017), and participation itself has become a contest over social power (Nightingale 2015).…”
