  • Adaptation Is a Security Imperative for Africa — and the World, GCA New Report Highlights – Global Center on Adaptation

    The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) released a report at the Munich Security Conference highlighting the impact of climate-related events like droughts and floods on conflict in the Sahel and Horn of Africa. The report emphasizes the need for global security-related expenditure to be directed towards climate adaptation in these vulnerable regions, showing that adaptation investments can reduce insecurity by strengthening coping capacity and reinforcing local institutions. It stresses that investing in climate adaptation is crucial for promoting peace and security in conflict-prone regions like the Sahel and Horn of Africa, with examples of how adaptation measures can act as preventive security. The report also outlines five priority actions to address these issues, including integrating governance and stability into adaptation planning and investing in regional early warning systems, while introducing the GCA as an international organization working to promote climate adaptation and climate-proof development through policy reforms and influencing investments.
