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 study explores entry points for WFP to, in addition to its core humanitarian mandate as a first responder, contribute to building climate-resilient food systems and sustainable peace in the West Nile sub-region of Uganda.

This study identifies four interrelated climate security pathways that affect food systems, livelihood security and conflict in Kenya. Through actionable recommendations, it explores ways the World Food Programme (WFP) in Kenya can better mainstream climate adaptation and resilience-building in its strategies, programmes and projects to build sustainable food systems, security and peace.

The Climate Risk Profile for Eastern Africa provides forward-looking data on the climate in Eastern Africa with the goal of supporting resilience-oriented short to long-term planning. The profile summarizes projected climate parameters and related sectoral impacts under two different emissions scenarios from now until 2080.

This policy paper frames WFP’s programming in climate resilience, livelihoods and food security within the climate security discourse. It aims to offer insights into action and investments for WFP’s work in East Africa to support climate and conflict informed food systems, and livelihoods that support resilience, ultimately contributing to peace and security.

This mapping exercise provides an overview of relevant actors and frameworks in Eastern Africa, focusing on the interlinkages between climate, peace and security in the region so that opportunities, challenges, entry points and targets for greater resource and capacity engagement can be targeted.

Climate, Peace and Security Assessment: Mali is the first full-length national case study using the Weathering Risk methodology, combining state-of-the-art climate impacts data with on-the-ground conflict analysis. It provides a ground-breaking level of detail into a country long seen as a hotspot for compound climate change and conflict risks.

Weathering Risk’s Climate Risk Profile: Somalia provides policymakers and practitioners in the field with an overview of projected climate parameters and related impacts on different sectors from now until 2080 under two different climate change scenarios. This is the first step in building a risk-informed climate security analysis.

This paper proposes practical ways for the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) to operationalise parts of its mandate linked to the climate and environment, including guidance on the role of a specific environmental and climate security advisor.
