Join the Kroc Institute for distinguished panel discussion about Richard (Drew) Marcantonio’s newly published book, "The Environment in Conflict: Implications and Pathways" (Cambridge University Press, 2026).
Increased attention has been given to the relationship between environmental change and conflict, across academic fields. Despite this focus, the resulting literature is siloed and somewhat scattered among disciplines. While progress and insights have been made, so have competing analytical frameworks such that it’s difficult to consistently measure how environmental risks intersect with conflict. Marcantonio, a Keough School faculty member affiliated with the Kroc Institute, takes on this challenge by grounding his book with an accessible, five-part framework for systematically thinking about how environmental dynamics interact with conflict.
A panel discussion will explore the book's themes with time for questions from the audience, followed by a reception and a book signing.
