The introduction identifies a gap between evidence on global environmental change and interactions on the ground; it positions the scope for a deeper understanding of the climate–security–resource nexus in Northern Nigeria and Lake Chad and consequences for the implementation of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The section on methods describes the nexus concept and justifies adopting it. As a result of analysing the region, the paper sheds light on the conflict pathways triggered by failures in land grazing policy, which is further evidenced by a short comparison with Northern Kenya. A potentially novel contribution is discussed in terms of scaling up collaboration and green markets for the future of Lake Chad, along with an integrated agricultural nexus policy, both of which are ambitious in the spirit of mission-oriented policies and delivering on the SDGs. date: 2021-09-27 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.3390/su131910734 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1892869 doi: 10.3390/su131910734 lyricists_name: Bleischwitz, Raimund lyricists_id: RBLEI92 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Sustainability volume: 13 number: 19 article_number: 10734 issn: 20 citation: Wakdok, SS; Bleischwitz, R; (2021) Climate change, security, and the resource nexus: Case study of Northern Nigeria and lake Chad.
