Hi Victor, the research I am aware of more about conflict prevention and conflict sensitive approaches and sustainable development with quite a bit work being done on this by International Alert in the context of climate change. Their website is a treasure trove I think for what you will need. Its here: http://www.internationalalert.org/.
Here a few others which you may also find relevant:
Adano, W.R., T. Dietz, K. Witsenburg, and F. Zaal, 2012: Climate change, violent conflict and local institutions in Kenya’s drylands. Journal of Peace Research, 49(1), 65-80.
Devitt, C. and R.S.J. Tol, 2012: Civil war, climate change, and development: A scenario study for sub-Saharan Africa. Journal of Peace Research, 49(1), 129-145.
There is also another study which looked generally at conflict and climate change. Will share separately if I find it.
There is also some analysis on conflict and natural resource management in this Africa Panel Progress Report for 2013: http://www.africaprogresspanel.org/index.php?cID=959.
The information you provided me have been very helpful, thank you. Pls let me know if you have more and if you would like to know more about my research work please feel free to ask and l will always oblige you with every information.
Here's link to a short clip of Nobel Laureate Jodi Williams on sustainable peace. Not a "study" but I think you'll enjoy her point of view. Best wishes!
