Climate Impact Profile: Dinder National Park, Sudan
Dinder National Park (DNP) is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with risks compounded by environmental degradation, livelihood pressures and ongoing conflict. This profile provides an overview of observed and projected climate trends across Gedaref, Sennar and Blue Nile states for the near term (2020–39), medium term (2040–59) and long term (2060–79), under higher emissions (SSP3-7.0) and lower emissions (SSP1-2.6) scenarios, and examines their impacts across ecosystems, human health, livelihoods and displacement. -
Prioritising Conflict Prevention in Syria’s Recovery: Integrating Climate and Environment for Peace
A window for conflict-preventive recovery in Syria has opened, but climate change threatens to close it. The fall of the Assad regime in December 2024 has created a rare opportunity to rebuild Syria on more just and resilient foundations. Yet rising temperatures, deepening droughts and growing resource scarcity are not waiting for reconstruction plans to catch up. Unless climate and environmental realities are placed at the heart of recovery planning now, Syria risks entrenching pathways that deepen fragility rather than prevent conflict. -
Climate Impact Profile: Syria
Syria is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, a challenge compounded by protracted conflict and fragile governance. This profile provides an overview of climate trends for near-term (2020–39) and medium-term (2040–59) time periods under the higher-emission SSP3-7.0 scenario and lower-emission SSP1-2.6 scenario, and their impacts across different sectors. -
Integrating Climate Change Into Peace Mediation – Why It Matters And How To Do It
Research has significantly advanced our understanding of the complex relationship between climate change and conflict, yet this knowledge is often unavailable or offers little practical value to peace mediators. This practice note sets out three reasons why it is in the interest of mediators to adopt a more proactive approach to climate change. It then outlines the opportunities climate change offers and how climate change considerations can be mainstreamed across mediation practice. -
Climate, Peace, and Security Consultation in Yemen: Results Report 2026

The analysis reveals the multiple dimensions of environmental risks that Yemen is grappling with and their impact on its social fabric, human security, and conflict. The results also provide insights into the gaps and potential entry points when addressing these risks, especially with a focus on peace and reconciliation. -
Climate Impact Profile: South Caucasus
The South Caucasus region (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This profile provides an overview of climate trends for near-term (2020–39) and medium-term (2040–59) time periods across the region under the higher-emission SSP3-7.0 scenario with regional conflicts and lower-emission SSP1-2.6 scenario with greater international collaboration, and their impacts across different sectors. -
Advancing Latin American and Caribbean Leadership: Exploring practical solutions for climate, environment and peace
Despite the urgency of Climate, Peace and Security (CPS) challenges in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC), the region is still not recognised as a priority within global CPS discussions. Gaps also remain in connecting local and traditional knowledge and experience to global CPS debates. This Practical Note aims to fill these gaps. It explores regional CPS challenges and, most importantly, identifies practical solutions stakeholders should prioritise to address these challenges. -
