This report presents the main findings of a desk study of experiences with conflict prevention and resolution in natural resource management, and how these can be applied in development cooperation in relation to climate change. The authors briefly discuss the link between climate change and conflict, including the need to see climate change as a conflict multiplier rather than as a major direct cause of conflict in itself. The report then reviews approaches and lessons learned from conflict prevention, management and resolution in natural resource management at the local, national and trans-boundary levels respectively.
