Insecurity and conflict, driven by the consequences of
      
      
        climate change, increasing population, rapid urbanisation
      
      
        and the greater mobility of people is becoming an ever
      
      
        greater challenge.
      
      
        Research at Liverpool is concerned with conflict
      
      
        resolutions and responses to disasters and emergencies,
      
      
        as well as the technological contribution to risk reduction
      
      
        and security enhancement. Our interdisciplinary expertise
      
      
        in the biophysical drivers of change, the socio-economic
      
      
        and socio-political relationships of equity and justice,
      
      
        and the impacts on livelihood and wellbeing contribute
      
      
        to the understanding of conflict, and the legal, health,
      
      
        and cultural issues relating to it.
