Abstract
The authors note that conflict destroys land, water, infrastructure, and biological and social resources for agriculture and human development, while military expenditures lower investments in health, education, and environmental protection. Since 1970, wars have taken a million lives annually, mainly civilians. Conflict zones are "resource poor," and once fighting ends, they face enormous reconstruction burdens.
