Climate Security Pathways Analysis

Climate Security Pathways Analysis

How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict in Somalia

This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Somalia using a pathway analysis. Four main pathways are identified:
1. Resource Access and Availability: illustrates how climate impacts affect natural resource availability, leading to different forms of resource related conflicts.
2. Livelihood and Food Insecurity: examines how climate change impacts agricultural production and livelihoods in Somalia.
3. Disaster and Conflict Displacement: delves into the compounding effects of climate-induced and conflict-driven displacement on insecurity dynamics in Somalia.
4. Fragility, Conflict and Exploitation: examines how climate change exacerbates existing socioeconomic inequalities, political representation, power dynamics and grievances within the country.

The Strategy reflects the existing priorities expressed in Member States’ national policies, consolidating relevant priorities at the nexus of livestock sector development, climate change, and sustainability into a unified, strategic thrust.
