Fragility and conflict

This paper examines the compounding impacts of climate change, conflict and socioeconomic vulnerabilities on households in Mopti, Mali.

Amidst immense challenges, both Sudan and South Sudan are making significant progress in strengthening their early warning systems, demonstrating resilience, innovation, and the power of digital transformation in weather and climate services.

This paper answers the question: what is the state of knowledge of early warning and early action (EWEA) for climate hazards in countries affected by armed conflict and high levels of forced displacement?

This policy brief examines conflict- and climate-related challenges to water governance and explores how multi-level collaboration can bridge the gap between global policies and lived realities.

Violent and conflict-affected parts of the world are at heightened risk of disasters. Situations like those in the DRC inspired a new UN handbook on early warning systems and early action in fragile, conflict-affected and violent contexts.

This paper showcases a mixed-methods approach to highlight the importance of local policies in the debate on the climate-conflict nexus, centering on the Karamoja Cluster, a cross-border region between Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, and Ethiopia.

This handbook facilitates strong coordination and multi-sectoral collaboration in fragile, conflict and violence-affected settings by providing a common framework and language. It also supports the integration of DRR into ongoing humanitarian efforts.
