This practical note makes the case for the centrality of the meaningful participation of youth in the Climate, Peace and Security agenda. It outlines challenges, emerging good practices and recommendations for the UN system, member states, donors, researchers and practitioners.

Fires pose a major risk to the cultural and natural landscapes of the South Caucasus (including northern Armenia and southern Georgia). This strategy paper is aimed at identifying areas of intervention and specific activities to strengthen co-operation between the two countries.

This scoping study aims to assess the current context of landscape fire management and wildfire risk reduction in two pilot municipalities: Dedoplistskaro in Georgia and Zagatala in Azerbaijan. On the basis of this assessment, it then collects and develops ideas for cooperation activities between the two pilot municipalities.

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.

adelphi and UNSSC hosted a workshop aimed at fostering dialogue among practitioners, researchers, and donors on integrating climate and environmental risks into humanitarian responses and resilience efforts. This practical note captures key takeaways from the workshop.

This practical note calls on climate, peace and security researchers, practitioners and policymakers to mainstream inclusion throughout all their areas of work.

This report is the first comprehensive attempt to assess direct deforestation induced by the global mining sector and provide an estimate of indirect deforestation in mining regions.

In this explainer video, you will learn the definition of this concept as well as its four dimensions: availability, access, utilisation and stability. Experts also outline paths for boosting food security and adaptation to climate change in a conflict-sensitive way and point to ways forward for a more food secure world.

A new report by WWF and adelphi outlines four pathways through which environmental degradation and biodiversity loss act as drivers of insecurity.

As energy concerns multiply due to the war in Ukraine, another troubling prospect is emerging: global food insecurity. Rapid onset climate change impacts in the recent past can give a glimpse of the potential consequences of sudden shocks to Russia’s wheat supply for global food and human security.

Sufficient supply is essential for global food security, but an overemphasis on availability overshadows more pressing issues, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation. Ultimately, a stable and long-term food supply will require significant prioritization of climate change mitigation and environmental restoration.

Find out what the IPCC report's climate change projections mean for peace and security around the world.

What triggers food riots? At which point does climate change come in? And what can we learn from analyzing the lack of government action in conflict areas?

Water is a critical resource everywhere, but in the Middle East, it is a defining issue. New report taps into water as a make-or-break issue for regional cooperation, economic development, and even for the future of peace negotiations.

In this webinar, adelphi experts outline how the impacts of climate change can contribute to conflict, and get into how journalists can best report stories of climate-related insecurity.

This course equips participants with the tools to conduct localized climate risk assessments and integrate them into programmatic planning throughout the stages of a peacebuilding programme life-cycle from early warning and response to mediation and peacekeeping. This edition of the course will take place in person in Entebbe, Uganda.

As part of this year’s online World Water Week at Home, adelphi and IHE Delft convened the workshop "Water diplomacy: a tool for climate action?". The workshop reflected on the role that foreign policy can play in mitigating, solving and potentially preventing conflicts over the management of transboundary water resources, especially in a changing climate.

Without electricity, Gaza is unable to treat its sewage water. This has already led to the closure of one of Israel’s key desalination plants, which uses water from the Mediterranean Sea. In Jordan, recurring droughts and the influx of refugees have resulted in a water crisis with regional spillover effects. Such examples create a clear message: climate and environment know no borders.
