Investigating resilience of refugee households in Jordan
As of 2024, Jordan hosts over 1.3 million refugees—one of the highest refugee-to-host population ratios globally—posing significant challenges for sustaining refugee household livelihoods. To inform effective support strategies, this study quantifies household resilience using quarterly UNHCR data from 2022. We conceptualize resilience as the ability to maintain a minimum, normatively defined level of well-being when exposed to potential stressor…
Understanding the climate, migration, social protection nexus from a youth mobility dimension: Can social protection address the drivers of climigration
Climate change is a threat multiplier for human migration, with those reliant on rain-fed agriculture being particularly vulnerable to climate change. This can manifest as increased poverty and potentially as climate-induced migration to seek alternative livelihood options. The interactions between climate vulnerability and social protection policy, in particular how they shape migration patterns, are poorly understood. There is significant poten…
Climate change and adaptation through the human security lens: Insights from the Mekong Delta
Climate change poses significant threats to the livelihoods of farmers, particularly in coastal regions where drought, salinity intrusion and weather variability reduce crop yields and increase poverty. While climate adaptation strategies aim to mitigate these impacts, they do not necessarily translate into positive outcomes. Through a scoping literature review and in-depth interviews, the paper investigates different domains of human (in)securit…
Malnutrition and violent conflict in a heating world: A mediation analysis on the climate–conflict nexus in Nigeria
Climate variability is increasingly gaining recognition as a factor exacerbating risks to peace in Africa, particularly in contexts characterized by weak institutions and fragile agri-food systems. Existing literature has highlighted the intricate indirect pathways that can lead to increasing conflicts following a climatic shock, including reduced agricultural yields, increased food insecurity, and other socio-economic channels that are highly co…
Women's Vulnerabilities to Climate Insecurity and Violence: Household-Level Evidence From Bangladesh
This study investigates the often-overlooked interpersonal conflicts within the climate and security nexus, focusing on how climate impact exacerbates women's security risks on Hatiya Island, Bangladesh. While climate security literature typically examines group-level conflicts, such as between farmers and pastoralists or between ethnic groups, this study shifts the focus to intra- and inter-household dynamics, exploring conflicts experienced by …
Global analysis of social learning’s archetypes in natural resource management: Understanding pathways of co-creation of knowledge
Although social learning (SL) conceptualization and implementation are flourishing in sustainability sciences, and its non-rigid conceptual fluidity is regarded as an advantage, research must advance the understanding of SL phenomenon patterns based on empirical data, thus contributing to the identification of its forms and triggering mechanisms, particularly those that can address urgent Anthropocene socio-ecological problems. This study aims to…
Community perception of climate events as a security issue: The case of Hatiya Island, Bangladesh
This study delves into the multifaceted dynamics linking climate change and conflict on Hatiya Island, Bangladesh. Examining perceptions and responses to climate-induced stress, insecurity and potential conflicts, our research draws insights from literature reviews and focus group discussions. Despite the heightened stress resulting from unpredictable climate events, islanders perceive recent improvements in food security. They continue to strugg…
Are climate and environment- and peace and security-related policy outputs coherent? A policy coherence and awareness analysis for climate security
The increasingly interconnected nature of our world means that failing to achieve coherence between climate- and peace and security-related policy domains forms a significant climate-related security risk. Poorly designed climate policies that are insensitive to pre-existing insecurities and conflict dynamics may undermine political stability, amplify social inequalities and grievances, and accelerate a loss of biodiversity and climate change-rel…
Through the lens of inequality: What can we learn from CGIAR as a case study of research on the climate–security nexus
Whether it is climate, conflict, or COVID-19, inequality is a key component of any crisis as it can reveal why some people and regions are disproportionately impacted over others. While climate impacts interacting with inequalities can exacerbate existing drivers of insecurity, it can also leave room for institutions and interventions to foster cooperation and build resilience and peace. Focusing on insights from literature on the climate–securit…
Climate change, mobility and violent conflict: A typology of interlinked pathways
Despite increased attention toward the links between climate, human mobility and conflict, the pathways through which resulting human insecurity may lead to violence are poorly understood. Although there is no inherent link between climate-related mobility and conflict, a coherent understanding of the triple nexus is needed to address the impact of intersecting crises on millions of lives and livelihoods. To achieve this, an in-depth literature r…
What is the importance of climate research? An innovative web-based approach to assess the influence and reach of climate research programs
Many parts of the world are increasingly experiencing the effects of climate change, making climate adaptation of rural livelihoods crucial to secure social and economic resilience. While the past two decades have witnessed a significant evolution in climate adaptation policy, evaluating the impact of climate science on policy has remained a challenge. This study employs the Digital Methods epistemology to explore the dynamics of agriculture-focu…
The importance of food systems in a climate crisis for peace and security in the Sahel
Conflicts are increasingly analysed as exhibiting a stealth complexity in which triggers and consequences are intricately linked to climate, environmental degradation and the struggle to control a finite pool of natural resources. The climate crisis is a multifaceted reality and, against this background, many pressing priorities compete with each other. The disruptive effect of climate variability and change on food systems is particularly acute …
