This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Mali, using an impact pathway analysis. Two main impact pathways are identified:

This scoping study report provides critical input to AMD-Focus Area 3 for a digital landscape and users’ needs assessment to be conducted in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar by prioritizing the key production systems and value chains where AMD-WP3 will continue or build its work in the next three years. The scoping study team, led by the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) implemented a systematic desk review and initial screening and prioritization followed by a validation process in each country to finalize the priority production systems.

The security implications of climate variability and change, commonly referred to as the climate-security nexus, have been widely discussed in both policy circles and academia.

This Policy Brief presents a proposal based on an extensive review of bibliographic sources and structured interviews, as part of a study on the reference year for voluntary deforestation-free commitments in the Peruvian Amazon. Subsequently, the information has been validated through two consultation workshops with key stakeholders, including decision makers from the public and private sectors and associations representative of the cacao, oil palm, and coffee value chains, as well as civil society stakeholders.

The recent discourse on food sovereignty places much emphasis on democracy in determining localized food systems, and whether the food is culturally appropriate while leaning heavily on sustainable agricultural practices such as organic agriculture, ecological intensification, agroecology, naturebased
