The evidence on conflicts around the world since the turn of the century points to a simple conclusion: conflicts, grievances and insecurities are increasingly being affected by changing climates, environmental degradation, food insecurity, and the struggle to control a finite pool of natural resources. This paper aims to understand the linkages between climate, conflict, agriculture, and

In Fragile and Conflict-affected Settings (FCS), projects related to buildings, cities, industries, and appliances face multifaceted operational risks. These initiatives, when not judiciously managed, risk heightening tensions by influencing the delicate balance of socio-economic and political factors, thereby amplifying fragility, conflict, and violence. Such challenges are further compounded by weak governance structures, leading to heightened risks of violence and marginalization.

The World Food Programme (WFP) supports communities to mitigate the impact of and build resilience to natural and human-made shocks and stressors that contribute to food insecurity and destabilize people’s livelihoods. WFP’s interventions, therefore, aim to equip communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools to avert or mitigate the impact of cyclical natural events such as droughts and floods through asset and capacity building in affected communities.

The report documents the results of the country launch of the CGIAR Initiative on Securing the Food Systems of Asian Mega-Deltas for Climate and Livelihood Resilience (AMD) held in Dhaka City, Bangladesh on 10 August 2022.

Silvopastoral systems in dry areas play a crucial role in enhancing land productivity and resilience, offering environmental benefits, and positively influencing the livelihoods of communities. Sabihia Site, managed by the Forestry Department, serves as a pilot site, shedding light on the challenges and successes of implementing silvopastoral systems. As a demonstrative model for sustainable practices, this site showcases favorable outcomes, including soil and water conservation, reduced livestock feeding costs, and enhanced biodiversity.

Nutrition-sensitive agri-food systems is an approach that puts nutritionally rich foods and dietary diversity at the heart of overcoming undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies. A desk review of literature and databases in Vietnam was conducted to identify existing knowledge, gaps, and opportunities for deltaic food systems transformation towards healthy diets.

Presentation on CGIAR Initiative on Fragility to Resilience in Central and West Asia and North Africa (F2R-CWANA) approach to science for impact, for the Resilient AgriFood Systems (RAFS) Regional Integrated Initiatives (RIIs) Retreat, 1 March 2023, Nairobi.

CGIAR’s Climate Resilience Initiative, also known as ClimBeR, is working to address these needs. On the 21st and 22nd of February, we ran in Guatemala City the first climate security workshop in Central America: Towards a common vision on the relationship between climate, conflict, and human security in Guatemala.

This study conducted a participatory appraisal of climate vulnerabilities and conflict risks five communities across Senegal: 1) pastoral, agro-pastoral and farming communities in the drylands areas of Louga 2) farmer and agro-pastoral communities in Kaffrine, 3) fishing communities on the islands of the coastal area of Casamance, 4) relocated fishing communities in Saint Louis, and 5) displaced farming communities in the tropical forests of Casamance.
