Abstract: Extreme weather events, armed conflicts and migration are considered as the most likely, and most substantial, risk factors of 2015, 2016 and 2017 in the latest Global Risk Report by World Economic Forum (World Economic Forum, 2017).That these factors are in turn influenced by climatic conditions is also a well-documented consensus.As global warming become an unescapable reality (IPCC, 2014), my thesis attempts to make a contribution to understanding of its consequences by quantifying the magnitude and significance of the influence of climatic factors on conflict and migration.* The full list of countries with a conflict can be found in Table A2.1 in the Appendix.However, the sample is not balanced as not all the countries existed throughout the years, e.g. the countries formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
