LONDON, Oct 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - New research from the Institute for Economics & Peace reveals that changing rainfall patterns are significantly amplifying conflict risks worldwide. The 2025 Ecological Threat Report (ETR), released today, finds conflict death rates are substantially higher in areas where rainfall is concentrating into fewer months, compared to regions where rain is spreading more evenly throughout the year.Ecological Threat Report 2025Analysing Ecological Threats, Resilience & PeaceKey FindingsOn average in areas where wet and dry seasons are becoming more extreme, there are four times as many conflict deaths as areas where it has decreased.In 2024, natural hazards triggered 45 million short-term internal displacements across 163 countries, the highest figure since at least 2008.Western Brazil, including parts of the Amazon, has recorded some of the world's sharpest increases in ecological threat levels. Temperatures have risen at twice the global rate, triggering drought and wildfires.Sub-Saharan Africa faces the world's most severe ecological pressures, with Niger registering the worst ETR score.Central and Western Europe recorded substantial overall improvements, in part representing a return to normalcy following Europe's unusually dry climatic conditions in 2019.Despite fears of looming water wars, there have been no interstate conflicts fought exclusively over water in the modern era. In the second half of the 20th century, at least 157 international freshwater treaties have been signed, offering models for interstate cooperation.This cooperative approach to water somewhat mirrors nuclear deterrence since the Second World War. In both cases, the very threat of catastrophic destruction has created pragmatic cooperation. The destruction of water supply can lead to societal collapse.Approximately 2 billion people - one quarter of humanity - now live in regions experiencing moderate to severe increases in seasonality. This is where wet seasons are becoming shorter and more intense, while dry seasons are longer and drier. These changes are disrupting agricultural calendars and heightening uncertainty for billions of people who rely on seasonal rains for food and livelihoods.The Ecological Threat Report, produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace, covers 3,125 sub-national areas in 172 countries and territories representing more than 99% of the world's population. Between 2019 and 2024, ETR scores deteriorated in 96 countries and improved in 74.Sub-Saharan Africa Approaching Multiple Critical Tipping PointsIn sub-Saharan Africa, conflict risk rises sharply when seasonality combines with rapid population growth. Unpredictable rains trigger agricultural stress. When coupled with demographic pressure, competition over land, water and food intensifies. In regions with weak governance and unresolved grievances, this combination proves combustible.The Karamoja Cluster in East Africa illustrates this pattern. While total rainfall remains relatively stable, its timing has become less predictable, amplifying both drought and flood hazards, leading to increased conflict. With only 2% of cultivated land irrigated compared to a global average of 20%, East African communities remain highly vulnerable to these shocks. Since 2019, increased rainfall seasonality has coincided with a resurgence of pastoralist violence after years of relative peace."Rainfall seasonality is becoming a powerful conflict catalyst,"said Steve Killelea AM, Founder & Executive Chairman of the Institute for Economics & Peace."Where rains are increasingly concentrated into fewer months, conflict deaths rise sharply. In sub-Saharan Africa, rapid population growth amplifies this effect, turning unpredictable seasons into competition for land, water and food. The issue isn't water scarcity - it's our failure to capture and distribute it. Only 2% of Sub-Saharan African farmland is irrigated, compared to 20% globally."Water Inequality and the Infrastructure GapThe world's renewable freshwater supply is finite and increasingly unevenly distributed. There are 295 subnational areas facing very high water risk and another 780 with high risk, affecting nearly 1.9 billion people.High-income countries have reduced per capita water use by roughly one-third since 2000 through efficiency gains and slower population growth, while many low-income nations face rising total withdrawals and falling per capita availability as populations outpace supply.Sub-Saharan Africa highlights this imbalance. Per capita water use has dropped from 113 cubic metres in 2000 to just 89 in 2022 - less than one-fifth of the global average. The result is mounting pressure on limited water sources and intensifying competition among farms, industries and households, heightening the risk of conflict.The failure to capture and distribute water is most acute in sub-Saharan Africa, which has the lowest irrigation rates in the world. To irrigate 34 million hectares would require only 6% of the region's annual renewable water resources.Steve Killelea said: "COP30 must prioritise investment in climate-resilient water systems as a foundation for sustainability and peace. Just as nuclear treaties reduced the risk of annihilation, international cooperation on water can reduce the risk of ecological collapse. Both demonstrate that survival depends less on dominance, than on shared responsibility."Interstate Water CooperationPopular narratives have warned of looming "water wars", especially in transboundary river and lake basins. The ETR finds this is not the case. While disputes over shared rivers do occur, no interstate wars have been fought over water in the modern era. This makes the lessons of successful interstate water cooperation even more important. In an era of increasing conflict, understanding why interstate cooperation has been so successful can provide a blueprint for avoiding future conflicts.Even in tense basins such as the Indus River - shared by India and Pakistan - water-sharing has continued despite repeated episodes of conflict, political confrontations and military tension. Water agreements, by necessity, encourage nations to think beyond immediate political grievances toward long-term survival and shared benefit.Regional AnalysisSub-Saharan Africa faces the world's most severe ecological pressures. However, some southern and eastern African countries, including Lesotho, Rwanda, Eritrea and Eswatini, have improved their ETR scores. More favourable rainfall patterns in these countries resulted in marked reductions in water risk over the past five years.In contrast, northwest Africa has seen the steepest deterioration in ETR scores over the same period, led by Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria, where persistent drought and rising temperatures have reversed the unusually favourable conditions of 2019.Central and Western Europe recorded notable improvements, marking a return to normal following the extreme dryness of 2019.Contact InformationMike KoslowskiIEP Senior Communications Advisormkoslowski@economicsandpeace.org+61418410531SOURCE: Institute for Economics & PeaceRelated Images Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
