Environmental concern is widely recognised as a foundation of environmental politics, yet its formation in conflict-affected societies remains poorly understood. While existing research documents the environmental consequences of armed conflict at the macro level, far less is known about how violent conflict shapes individual-level environmental concern. We examine whether and how conflict exposure is associated with environmental concern, with particular attention to trust and civic capacity. Using nationally representative microdata from World Values Survey Wave 7, linked with country-year conflict fatalities from the UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset, we analyse the relationship between conflict exposure and environmental concern. Environmental concern is measured using attitudinal and behavioural indicators. Individuals living in conflict-affected contexts exhibit lower levels of environmental concern, with effects strongest for organisational engagement under recent and sustained violence. The results indicate that conflict exposure is linked to weaker environmental concern, highlighting the importance of political and institutional conditions.
