Pastoralists under Pressure: Double Exposure to Economic and Environmental Change in Niger
运用双重暴露框架分析尼日尔经济与环境变化如何引发政治不稳定和粮食危机，进而影响牧民粮食安全，揭示全球变化削弱了该地区牧民的历史韧性。
Interdisciplinary science benefits from frameworks that bridge different perspectives and methodological approaches in order to understand and solve complex problems. This article applies the double exposure framework to analyse how economic and environmental change drives recent political instability and food crises in Niger and the resultant implications for the food security of pastoral populations. Findings illustrate how processes of global change are undermining the historic resilience of pastoral communities within the region. Community and regional responses to new and unfamiliar conditions have resulted in heighted political instability that limits pastoralists’ ability to cope with future shocks.
