The ECC Factbook, published by adelphi, is an interactive platform that analyses more than 100 conflicts related to climate and environmental change and security. Part of a broader platform on environment, conflict, and cooperation (ECC), the ECC Factbook aims to provide an easy entry point for gaining a deeper understanding of how environmental change and societal factors interact in producing situations of fragility and conflict, and what solutions exist to prevent and/or mitigate these conflicts. To this end, it combines case studies with infographics and data for analysis and comparison.

It is aimed at political decision-makers, academics, journalists and practitioners in the fields of international relations, peacebuilding, development policy and humanitarian aid, but also offers the general public an intuitive approach to these issues. The 7 benefits of this interactive platform are summarised here.

About the project

The ECC Factbook was developed alongside A New Climate for Peace, an independent report commissioned by G7 governments that analyses the connection between climate risks and fragility and provides recommendations for foreign policy. It is available at www.newclimateforpeace.org.
