    Have we seen enough of climate change to call it a “catalyst for conflict?” A panel of retired U.S. military leaders think so in a new report from CNA launched at the Wilson Center last month.

    The environment and conflict nexus was further explored by guest contributor Florian Krampe, who explains how small-scale hydropower projects in Nepal may be undercutting the peace process, and former Wilson Center Scholar Jill Shankleman, who outlines South Sudan’s dim prospects for additional oil development.

    Meanwhile, Laurie Mazur’s report on trends in U.S. population funding also joined the top 10 alongside Elizabeth Leahy Madsen’s feature on the relationship between democracy and age structure and two new stories from the China Environment Forum.
