Where are the most vulnerable areas to climate induced insecurities and risks in Kenya?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116309
Abstract
This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Kenya, using spatial hotspot analysis. The findings show that areas of high conflict and harsh climate interactions co-occurred with hotspots where socio-economic vulnerabilities (undernutrition, inequality, migration, low productivity) are present. This occurs in north of Uran, Sololo, and north of Obbu (hotspots of…

Pathways for food and land use systems to contribute to global biodiversity targets
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/118456
Abstract
Biodiversity flourishes in areas where natural processes, such as plant and animal reproduction and dispersion, take place without human interruption. At present, we estimate that such land where natural processes predominate (LNPP) covers 56% of terrestrial land. Here, the evolution of global biodiversity is modelled, as indicated by LNPP, for two scenarios for food and land-use systems change to 2050: a “…
