Several
studies have pointed to a link between climate change and the civil war
in Syria, which started in 2011 and is still ongoing as of 2015. The
direct causes of the conflict relate to popular discontent with the
government. Yet the mishandling of a major drought in the preceding
years likely fed into this discontent, and climate change increased the
likelihood for such a drought. We examine these dynamics by introducing the ECC Factbook -- a visual and interactive tool informing policy makers and the general public about conflicts with an environmental dimension.
