Measuring the climate security nexus: The Integrated Climate Security Framework
Fig 5
The climate security network in Kenya.
Fig 5 shows how climate, agriculture, conflict, inequality, undernutrition, deforestation, and migration variables and data are connected in Kenya. Stronger relationships are visualized with thicker lines. Arrows show higher-level connections and feedback loops. Key variables referenced in text are Climate water deficit (multi-annual average) #1; Number of days with ratio of actual to potential evapotranspiration ratio below 0.5 (multi-annual average) #3; Number of days with waterlogging (multi-annual 90th percentile) #5; Frequency of 5-day dry spell within rainy seasons (multi-annual average) #6; Heat stress on cattle (THI) (multi-annual average) #7; Maximum temperature (multi-annual 90th percentile) #12; Total number of conflict events #13; Total number of unique conflict sub-type events #15; Total number of conflict fatalities #18; Accessibility to healthcare services at 2019 #19; Difference of years of education (male—female) (multi-annual median) #20; Years of education male (multi-annual median) #22; Population density (multi-annual average) #23; Population density (multi-annual trend: Sen’s slope) #24; Absolute wealth index #27; Relative wealth index #28; Net primary production (multi-annual upper bound) #31; Estimated Net Migration (multi-annual 90th percentile) #32; Deforestation #33. All other variables can be found in [89].
