#27 Water, Climate, and Conflict #3 – Conversations with Stefan Döring

In this episode, we welcome Stefan Döring, a researcher specializing in the intersection of water and conflict. Drawing from his interdisciplinary research, Stefan sheds light on the issue of water conflicts. He unpacks the spatial dynamics of communal violence and introduces a seemingly counter-intuitive argument: water scarcity can foster cooperation instead of conflict. As we explore the future interplay of water and climate, Stefan highlights potential strategies to curb water-related disputes and emphasizes the pivotal role of research in shaping this narrative.
