In this video, experts Dr. Jewellord Nem Singh (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Héctor Camilo Morales Muñoz (adelphi) explain which critical minerals are needed and where they can be found. They go through the different risks that an increased demand for critical minerals can pose for the environment, economy and local communities, as well as its potential for generating or intensifying conflict.

When it comes to assessing the impacts of climate change on global security and the opportunities of climate action to contribute to peacebuilding, qualitative approaches offer numerous strengths and opportunities that enrich quantitative methods.

How can the risks associated with increased critical mineral production be addressed in Latin America? As outlined in a recent report published by the OECD and co-authored by adelphi, Responsible Business Conduct is paramount to this end.

A major challenge in the field of environmental peacebuilding is showing the impact of its initiatives.

This executive summary of the forthcoming African Climate Security Risk Assessment summarises insights on climate change, peace, and security in Africa. The report itself was requested by the African Union Peace and Security Council (AU-PSC) and is the result of the collaboration between the African Union Commission for Political Affairs, Peace and Security (AUC-PAPS) and adelphi.

El Salvador is one of the countries forming the Central American Dry Corridor. The Central American Dry Corridor faces poor distribution of irregular rain, drought, environmental degradation and low crop yields, which creates vulnerability. El Salvador is caught in a vicious circle of poverty, migration and violence, and this convergence implies that the country is fragile to climate change impacts undermining human security.

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.
