Quantifying Conflict & Climate Action in Yemen

Frederick S. Pardee Institute for International Futures. (2026). Quantifying Conflict & Climate Action in Yemen. University of Denver.

In the fog of one of the 21st century’s most challenging conflicts, the Frederick S. Pardee Institute for International Futures provided the world with analysis that changed conversations, funding, and action. The research shifted how people talked about the conflict by providing evidence of the depth of the humanitarian crisis that defined the conflict for the UN Security Council, the United States Congress, and the global press. From the canonical finding of 377,000 deaths to the projection of $93 billion in climate losses, these five reports have transitioned from academic publications to essential diplomatic tools, serving as the primary evidence base for raising awareness about the cost of conflict and providing a roadmap for post-war
reconstruction.

The provided dossier from the Frederick S. Pardee Institute for International Futures at the University of Denver details a series of research reports analyzing the humanitarian, economic, and environmental impacts of the war in Yemen. These reports utilize the International Futures (IFs) model to quantify the costs of the conflict and provide a roadmap for post-war recovery.
