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.

Climate, Peace, and Security Consultation in Yemen: Results Report 2026

This report, developed in partnership between the European Institute for Peace and Weathering Risk Peace Pillar, presents the results of an extensive consultation as part of the project Environmental Pathways for Reconciliation in Yemen. 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.

From Waste to Resolution: Assessing the Impact of Armed Conflict on the Solid Waste Sector in Yemen

Co-authored by the Institute and PAX, this report investigates Yemen’s waste crisis as a result of the armed conflict and reflects on ways to address it as a contribution to peacemaking, conflict prevention, and stabilisation. It identifies the main governance challenges in relation to effective waste management and analyses the impact of Yemen's solid waste crisis on society, security, and the environment. The report also identifies entry points to respond to this crisis and support local resilience to both environmental and conflict risks.

Undercurrents: How conflict, climate change and the environment intersect in Yemen

Undercurrents examines the complex relationship between war, increasing climate-related hazards and environmental degradation in Yemen that are undermining security and driving further conflict, particularly at the local level. Undertaken in collaboration with the European Institute of Peace, the assessment highlights why climate and environmental action must be part of Yemen’s conflict mitigation and peacebuilding processes at different levels.
