Increasingly frequent storms, floods and heatwaves make the natural environment unpredictable and socio-political conflict within human societies more prevalent.
Here we address two possible socio-behavioral mechanisms – selfish opportunism and intergroup bias in pro-sociality, or ‘parochialism’ — with country-level analyses, long-running annual time-series, and intergroup contest experiments.
Combine, results suggest that individuals under climate risks participate in coalitionary conflict at least also because of increased pro-social concerns for (members of) the individual’s own group or community. Policy implications for climate risk mitigation and promoting peaceful coexistence will be discussed.
