Old and new risks: Impacts of political marginalization, climate change, violent conflict, conservancies and energy projects on mobile pastoralist groups in northern Kenya

The German Geographical Society and the Institutes of Human Geography and Physical Geography at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main invite you to the 62nd German Geographical Congress (DKG ) in Frankfurt from September 19 to 23, 2023.

Drylands, which cover more than a third of the continental area, differ greatly in terms of their natural environment, their geopolitical situation, their socio-economic situation and the changes to be expected in the course of climate change. Using selected drylands as examples, the session will take a differentiated and interdisciplinary look at various methods and topics. As part of the session "The future of drylands: Diverging natural areas, utilization and development potentials (AK Wüstenrandforschung)", Janpeter Schilling will give his presentation on "Old and new risks: Impacts of political marginalization, climate change, violent conflict, conservation areas and energy projects on mobile pastoralist groups in northern Kenya".
