Climate, Peace and Security: Implementing cross-cutting strategies for climate resilience

The challenges of climate change go beyond disruption to our physical environment, as it also influences global peace and security. As ecosystems deteriorate due to global warming, communities living on arid and semi-arid land (ASAL) face heightened risks of conflict over scarce natural resources such as water and grazing land. Recognizing the connections between climate change, peace and security is essential for developing strategies that mitigate climate change while fostering peaceful conditions.
