Societal drought vulnerability and the Syrian climate-conflict nexus are better explained by agriculture than meteorology
Syrian agriculture recovered after the 2007-2009 drought, before the 2011 civil conflict, according to remotely sensed data on agricultural activity in Syria, which calls into question the influence of climate stress on migration and conflict risk.
