Dr. Florian Krampe serves as a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University and holds leadership positions at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), where he is Director of Studies for Peace and Development and Director of the SIPRI Climate Change and Risk Programme. With over 16 years of experience, Dr. Krampe is internationally recognized as an expert on the complex interplay between climate change, conflict, and peacebuilding processes, with particular focus on environmental peacebuilding in climate-affected regions.
Dr. Krampe earned his PhD with a dissertation titled 'Building Sustainable Peace: Understanding the Linkages between Social, Political, and Ecological Processes in Post-War Countries' from Uppsala University in 2016. His academic journey includes an MA thesis on 'Changing Identity – Belligerents Transformation towards Reconciliation' focused on Zimbabwe and South Africa, and a BA thesis on 'Sociology of New Wars – Critical analysis of the reception of the Bosnian War through a sociology of New Wars' from Ruhr-University Bochum.
Dr. Krampe's research focuses on the critical intersection of climate change and security, with particular emphasis on environmental peacebuilding in post-conflict contexts. His work bridges the gap between academic research and policy implementation, addressing how climate change impacts peacebuilding efforts in conflict-affected regions. Key research areas include the role of natural resource governance in sustaining peace, climate-related security risks, and the development of frameworks for understanding climate-peace-conflict dynamics. His scholarship reveals how environmental factors can either undermine or support peace processes, particularly through examining water resource management, food security, and energy systems in post-conflict settings.
Analysis of Dr. Krampe's extensive publication record reveals a consistent focus on the emerging field of climate security and its implications for peacebuilding. His research demonstrates how climate change acts as a risk multiplier in conflict-affected regions, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities while creating new security challenges. The publications show an evolution from examining specific case studies (such as water management in Kosovo and East Timor) toward developing broader theoretical frameworks for understanding climate-peace-conflict dynamics. Recent work increasingly focuses on tipping points, cascading risks, and the potential for positive interventions that can transform climate challenges into opportunities for cooperation and peacebuilding.
Dr. Krampe has received significant recognition for his work, with numerous publications cited across policy documents, Wikipedia pages, and social media platforms. His research has been picked up by multiple news outlets and referenced in policy sources, demonstrating its relevance to current security challenges.
Through his leadership of the SIPRI Climate Change and Risk Programme, Dr. Krampe directs significant research initiatives that have produced influential policy reports on climate-related security risks in regions including the Horn of Africa, Mali, Somalia, and the Sahel. His work has informed United Nations policy discussions, particularly through his 2021 report 'Why United Nations peace operations cannot ignore climate change,' which argues for the integration of climate considerations into peace operations.
