31 May, 2024

Conducted by the CGIAR FOCUS Climate Security research consortium, this research investigates the extent to which climate-related security risks are integrated in country policies, strategies and recovery plans across 5 Arab States, it also makes policy and programmatic recommendations to advance this critical work.

As part of the SDG-Climate Facility: Climate Action for Human Security project which is funded by the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), in 2021 WFP and UNDP initiated a research initiative to investigate integrated climate, peace and security programming in the Arab States, focusing on Jordan, Yemen, Syria, Somalia and Iraq.

The research has highlighted priority opportunities and good practices for advancing integrated climate, peace and security programming in the region. The findings summarized in this report are rooted in key informant interviews and validation workshops with government stakeholders and provide critical insights for taking this work forward to meet national needs.
