Land and ecosystem restoration can offer pathways for improving cooperation between countries and people, thereby ultimately contributing to preventing conflicts and building peace. This article explores how

Haiti is the most vulnerable country in Latin America and the Caribbean to climate change. Tackling environmental degradation and climate change impacts on livelihoods must be a priority.

There cannot be climate action without water action. The acknowledgement of this at this year’s UN Water Conference could represent a "once in a generation opportunity" to galvanise action to address the interlinked challenges of climate change and water to achieve sustainable development.

What can climate security learn from the women, peace, and security (WPS) agenda? The two agendas share the need for urgent, context-specific, interdisciplinary responses, suggesting climate security can look to the implementation of National Action Plans in the WPS context to develop further.

Throughout 2019, millions of people took the streets all around the world to join the youth climate movement's school strike. Yet at this year’s most important climate politics meeting, most governments were far from committing to sufficient action to avert dangerous climate change.

Mobility can be a viable response to climate change. National and international policy should protect those who move and address the vulnerabilities leading to migration and displacement.

This practical note captures 8 key takeaways on peace-positive climate action and climate-informed peacebuilding providing recommendations for multilateral and bilateral donors, policy-makers and practitioners.

Today, climate change is a driver of conflict and a threat multiplier affecting many areas of life. To illustrate the diverse effects of climate change, national and international experts from the OSCE participating States were asked to share their expertise and views.

Climate finance for fragile and conflict-affected contexts continues to fall short. This practical note provides guidance for actors to deliver peace-positive climate action and climate-informed peacebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected contexts.

To help guide the work of the Haiti Climate Security Working Group, adelphi led a collaborative effort to undertake a study mapping out the linkages between climate, peace and security in Haiti, applying the methodology of the Weathering Risk initiative.

The Shar/Šara Mountains and Korab Massif Area is a biodiversity hotspot with outstanding natural value. Climate change poses a threat to the natural and economic values of the area. This document proposes a joint co-operation strategy to strengthen co-operation between four protected areas.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of responsible business conduct issues, initiatives and policies in the extractive sector in Latin America and the Caribbean and encourages countries and actors in the region to use RBC as a tool for inclusive and sustainable development.

A twin human rights and environmental crisis in Colombia has intensified since the government and rebel army FARC signed a peace treaty in 2016. This study is the first of its kind to analyse these links between conflict dynamics, environmental degradation and climate change in the Colombian Amazon and how they have changed since the signing of the peace agreement.

This paper examines the interaction between climate impacts, migration, displacement and (in)security. It aims to go beyond the prevailing narratives on climate change and migration to better understand the different ways in which mobility can serve as an adaptive strategy to climate- and conflict-related risks and vulnerabilities.

This policy paper proposes five steps donors and governments should take to deliver on the climate-security agenda.

Caribbean countries, most of which are small island developing states, have long suffered from the destructive impacts of natural hazards, including hurricanes, severe weather events, drought and sea level rise. Climate change is projected to make them worse.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profound global impacts. While all countries have been affected, the pandemic is hitting those that were already struggling with poverty, conflict and the impacts of climate change especially hard. This report seeks to explore these dynamics.

This manual is a compilation of introductory texts and the most relevant reports in the field of climate change and security. It covers the issue of how climate change converges with other global pressures, such as population growth, uncontrolled urbanisation, increased demand for resources and environmental degradation, to exacerbate global security challenges and intensify instability in fragile societies.

This report assesses how peacebuilding programming can produce adaptation benefits, so that interventions simultaneously contribute to reduced intercommunal conflict and strengthened resilience to shocks.

This Research Paper takes stock of what we currently know about the links between climate change, fragility and conflict, summarizing evidence from research and practice over the last 25 years. Going beyond establishing a statistical, direct link, qualitative research is now demonstrating the complex relationship between climate change impacts and conflict through a variety of pathways.

Evidence from existing programs shows that climate change adaptation interventions can contribute to peacebuilding, and peacebuilding can have significant adaptation benefits. A number of contextual factors such as livelihood and food security, natural resources governance, state legitimacy and effectiveness, migration, social cohesion and marginalisation are decisive in shaping these climate-fragility risks.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profound global impacts. While all countries have been affected, the pandemic is hitting those who were already struggling with poverty, conflict and the impacts of climate change especially hard. This podcast episode seeks to explore these dynamics by interviewing the authors of the Climate Security Expert Network Report Spreading Disease, Spreading Conflict?
