SUMMARY:Climate Change\, Conflict\, and the Risk of Economic Collapse in Af
 rica
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Joel Ferguson\, Assistant Professor\, Nelson Institu
 te for Environmental Studies\, UW–Madison\n\n\n\nThis talk will cover wh
 ether changes in violent conflict and economic growth caused by warming co
 uld interact to degrade economic opportunities and trap African countries 
 in poverty. Ferguson will provide evidence of an emerging high-conflict an
 d low-growth "poverty trap" equilibrium in Africa and describe theoretical
 ly how such an equilibrium could result from warming. He combines historic
 al data on temperature\, growth\, and conflict with projections from a lar
 ge ensemble of global climate models to evaluate the risk that warming and
  subsequent conflict could push African economies into a regime of sustain
 ed negative economic growth.\n\nView the livestream
