This study explores the effects of climate impacts such as extreme heat and water stress as risks to peace and human security in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. It identifies five key climate insecurity pathways as well as entry points and priorities as guidance for future climate- and conflict-sensitive, peace-oriented programming in the region. This climate, peace and security study serves as one of the case studies undertaken during the adelphi-WFP learning collaboration. The Somali Region was selected because of its particular vulnerability to climate impacts and related risks to peace and human security.
