More frequent droughts, floods, and prolonged water stress are intensifying patterns of instability and conflict across the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, underscoring serious implications for international peace and security. This was revealed in a report launched by the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA) and Bodhi, a global research firm; on the sidelines of the just-concluded Munich Security Conference, a high-level global forum on security matters. The report’s findings underscore that climate adaptation in fragile and conflict-affected regions is no longer a peripheral development issue but a core requirement for global peace, stability, and resilience, GCA noted in a news release.
