Mine Action and Climate Change: A Case Study of Water in Yemen
(2023) UTVK03 20231Sociology
- Abstract
- The following research explores a critical intersection between the work of mine action and the
climate. It addresses the amplified impacts of climate change on water in Yemen, a country afflicted
by protracted conflict and growing climate threats. This study showcases the necessity of integrating
climate considerations into the mine action strategies and underpins the impact of climate change on
the intensity and frequency of conflicts. Furthermore, it emphasizes the disruption of human life,
environment, and infrastructure due to extreme weather events associated with climate change, which
can further increase the damage of landmines and explosive remnants of war, hence increasing the
need to integrate mine action with relevant... (More) - The following research explores a critical intersection between the work of mine action and the

environment, and infrastructure due to extreme weather events associated with climate change, which
can further increase the damage of landmines and explosive remnants of war, hence increasing the
need to integrate mine action with relevant sectors.
Deduced from academic literature and reviews from strategic programs and policy development while
supported by firsthand interviews, this thesis research suggests a multilayered approach. One that
acknowledges the importance of implementing long-term planning for conflict resolution, climate
adaptation, and disaster risk reduction strategies when operationalizing the humanitarian mine action
missions. In the hopes of endorsing a holistic conflict mitigation approach that tackles future climate
conflicts from erupting by integrating climate adaptation measures, resulting in sustainable and
effective resource management while strengthening governance and initiatives for social cohesion.
The findings appear consistent with the urgent need to move beyond immediate crisis response and towards more forward-thinking strategies adept at managing the long-term consequences of the intertwining threats of conflict and climate change. This paper supports peacebuilding and development efforts while looking at some root causes of conflict in light of the rising threats of climate change in Yemen. (Less)
