The impact of climate change on social conflict and violence is of increasing concern. The significant risk that climate change poses for human conflict has driven scholars to investigate the processes underlying the relationship. Although climate change may not directly cause conflict, heat waves and extreme weather events could amplify interpersonal violence, and climate change consequences (i.e. economic deprivation and migration) could also intensify intergroup conflict. However, psychological research is weakly integrated with this literature, and interdisciplinary efforts are needed to uncover the underpinnings of the relationship between climate change and conflict. In particular, psychological research on intergroup threat, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and culture can provide valuable insights into understanding and responding to climate-induced conflict.

气候变化对社会冲突和暴力的影响日益受到关注。气候变化对人类冲突构成的重大风险促使学者们研究这种关系背后的过程。虽然气候变化可能不会直接导致冲突，但热浪和极端天气事件可能会放大人际暴力，气候变化后果（即经济剥夺和移民）也可能加剧群体间冲突。然而，心理学研究与这些文献的结合较弱，需要跨学科的努力来揭示气候变化与冲突之间关系的基础。特别是关于群体间威胁、气候变化缓解和适应的心理学研究，
