    Climate Change, Human Security and Violent Conflict: The Case of Pastoral and Semi-Pastoral Communities in Borena Areas
    (Addis Ababa Unversity, 2023-11) Garoma Nefabassa; Bamlaku Tadesse ( Associate Professor)
    The entire pastoral and semi-pastoral communities in the Borena Zone are being further undermined by the growing extent and severity of climate change, which also affects human security. The effects of climate change are severe; the cycle of drought is getting shorter and having a bigger influence on pastoral livelihoods. The prior researches have been limited in scope and focused on events or occurrences, making it impossible to thoroughly examine the connections between violent conflict, human insecurity, and climate change, especially in the study area. Thus, it is crucial to do in-depth research to fully comprehend the causes, effects, and connections between human insecurity, violent conflict, and climate change in order to advance our understanding of this topic. And, the sequential explanatory mixed method design has been employed to study the link between climate change, human security and violent conflict to answer the research questions and draw on broader conclusions of findings. Hence, the findings indicate that there has been an alarming increase in climate change; and drought has had a severe impact on human security. And, competition over resources has sporadically resulted in violent conflict, but this only used to occur indirectly following impacts on human situations. The frequency and intensity of conflict has been increasing between different cultures during migration even within international borders while relatively low between similar cultures both within and beyond international borders of the study area. And, despite the fact that demands have been there for decades, pastoral development is exceedingly low due to poor response to pastoral situations.
