Law, war, and warming: The new frontiers of climate security
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177467
Abstract
As 2025 draws to a close, the climate-security agenda feels less like a niche debate, growing sharper, more complex, and perhaps for the first time, more actionable.
The intersection of climate change, migration, health, and conflict has become visible in courts, war zones, clinics, and mining fields. This year marked a shift from awareness to accountability. The question for 2026 is whether momentum across these 4 areas can…

Evaluation of a CRISPR/Cas9 based gene editing system for Urochloa sp. (Poaceae)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177291
Abstract
The agricultural sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, with livestock being a significant source of methane (CH₄) through enteric fermentation. As forage quality, digestibility, and composition directly influence CH₄ production in the rumen, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology offers a promising solution to tackle this problem by targeting these traits. Due to its agronomic and economic importance…

September to November climate advisory for pastoral communities of Ethiopia: September 2025
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177280
Abstract
The September to November (SON) rainfall season plays a vital role in sustaining pastoral livelihoods across southern and southeastern Ethiopia. Locally referred to as Hagayya in the Borana Zone, Deyr in the Somali Region, and Dada’e in the Afar Region, this season is characterized by high interannual variability influenced by global and regional climate drivers. This bulletin integrates analyses of…

Navigating social expectations: the gendered impact of men’s rural-to-urban migration on banana-cultivating households in Burundi
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177283
Abstract
In Burundi, low agricultural productivity, high population density, and land scarcity are pushing rural men to leave their villages in search of income-earning opportunities in urban areas. This study investigates the implications of Burundian men’s rapidly increasing rural-to-urban migration in the context of banana cultivation, traditionally considered a ‘men’…

Testing innovations through multisite trials to bridge the gap between research and real-world farming in Northern Ghana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177288
Abstract
Maize yield optimisation requires a dual-pronged approach: improve variety selection to leverage genetic potential and precision fertilisation to address nutrient deficiencies. A simplified fertiliser recommendation framework, expressed in bags per unit area, bridges the knowledge gap between scientific guidelines and farmer application. However, this affects the rate of…

Abstract
This report highlights the outcomes of a high-level workshop convened under the EU-funded SUSTLIVES project, which promotes the strategic use of neglected and underutilized species (NUS)—now repositioned as “opportunity crops”—to enhance food and nutrition security, support resilient livelihoods, and contribute to climate adaptation in Burkina Faso and Niger. The workshop was held on…

The Compound Risk Framework: Assessing fragility and key drivers of food insecurity in Haiti, Mozambique and Ghana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177396
Abstract
Climate variability is increasingly impacting natural and human systems, exposing societies to compound and interrelated environmental, socioeconomic, and political crises. The landscape of global conflict has intensified, with more countries experiencing violent conflict than at any point in the last three decades. However, our approaches to these issues are often siloed and…

Muted voices: Climate change, (in)visibility of persons living with disabilities and early warning systems in Zimbabwe
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177394
Abstract
Climate change disproportionately impacts persons with disabilities (PWDs). Climate change creates a newer set of vulnerabilities for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), adding on to already existing vulnerabilities. Consequently, they face greater risks during climate-related disasters due to physical barriers, lack of access to information, and inadequate emergency…

Abstract
This poster, developed for a capacity building event with the Kimatwa Women Savings and credit cooperative group, introduces the core principles and practices of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). It outlines the three foundational pillars of CSA: sustainably increasing agricultural productivity, adapting to climate change, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The poster highlights key locally-relevant practices such as the use of smart seeds,…

Understanding conflicts between nomadic clans in Somalia’s Mudug region

Abstract
Climate change and variability have intensified the frequency and severity of droughts in Somalia, depleting vital natural resources such as water and pasture that sustain pastoral livelihoods in recent years. As a result, herders have suffered massive livestock deaths, which in turn have eroded household incomes, deepened food insecurity, and forced families into displacement in search of relief. Somalia has also…
