The Climate Change and African Political Stability Program is a multi-year research program based at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas at Austin, partnered with the College of William and Mary, Trinity College Dublin, and University of North Texas. CCAPS analyzes how climate change, conflict, governance, and aid intersect to impact African and international security.
Through quantitative analysis, GIS mapping, case studies, and field interviews, the CCAPS program seeks to identify where and how climate change could undermine state stability, to define strategies for building African state capacity, and to assess international development aid responses.
