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.

Climate Security Challenges in Iraq: Entry points for local level dialogue

Iraq has begun to feel the brunt of climate change and an increase in climate-related security risks. This study examines nine districts, exploring the ways in which climate change is contributing to conflict and insecurity in these districts through an analysis of climate security risk pathways.

Environmental Pathways for Reconciliation in Yemen: Consultation Report

Since 2014, the Yemeni people have been experiencing a ravaging civil war which is affecting their lives at the most basic level. Scarcity of water and food insecurity are ubiquitous across the country, along with other environment-related challenges. Yemen´s security and environmental crisis is worsening with climate change, which causes drier seasons and more frequent extreme weather events such as flash floods. Environmental challenges underpin livelihoods, interact with conflict dynamics, and therefore need to be part of the search for peace.
