Conflict Resilience Across Scales- Theory and data to evaluate societal resilience to water and climate shocks
Abstract
Understanding and promoting societal resilience - maintaining social function in the face of disturbance - is vital given potential domestic and international threats worldwide. Understanding societal response to water disturbances is of particular importance in the face of a changing climate and increasing resource scarcity. Both United States adversaries and allies unable to adequately address water challenges risk internal political instability and interstate geopolitical competition, as identified by the National Intelligence Council s Strategic Futures Group in 2021. The US Government continues to highlight water-driven risks to political stability, such as through the White House Action Plan on Global Water Security in 2022. This research can help improve resilience to water insecurity and will also provide critical insight into societal resilience more broadly.
