Abstract:	Climate change is threatening the world's future. With oceans filled with plastic, forests degrading, loss of biodiversity, and CO2 emissions reaching unprecedented levels, humankind still seems not aware of the consequences of its actions. Yet, underdeveloped countries are already suffering the impacts of the so-called human-induced global warming, despite the emissions not being theirs. In this context, there is growing concern as to whether climate change can be breeding conflict, especially in poor economies. Given the relevance of this topic, some of the main findings on the field of economics of climate change are assessed in this essay, followed by a review of the different positions found in the literature regarding the causal link between global warming and conflict. Moreover, an empirical exercise is carried out on a subset of African countries to detect possible associations between droughts and participation in political violence.
