Abstract

Environmental degradation has taken an important place in conflict and peace studies around the globe. Environmental degradation can be the result of conflict or may itself lead to conflict directly in a society. The conflict may be both violent and non-violent. Developing countries are bound to suffer more than developed nations due to weak institutional, financial, intellectual resources and vast population levels in case of environment induced conflict.
