“…A failure to consider the unique contexts presented by conflict can, at a minimum, severely hinder program efficacy and in some cases create new conflict dynamics (Ide, 2020). Third, we argue that, when tailored to context, climate and peacebuilding programming may find alignment, particularly when the emphasis is on building and reinforcing the strength and legitimacy of local governance structures (Läderach et al, 2021; Peters et al, 2020; Wennmann, 2023). As such, we argue that a broader set of actions, especially those traditionally framed as conflict mitigation measures, may be utilized to advance climate change adaptation directly or build adaptive capacity more generally.…”

In this article, we examine the ways conflict can drive climate change vulnerability and, in turn, argue that conflict mitigation can act as a means of climate change adaptation. We identify three key ways in which conflict mitigation enhances adaptation opportunities: (a) addressing conflict dynamics increases opportunities to address climate risks; (b) grounded analysis of conflict dynamics often reveals high-value opportunities for climate change-oriented programs as well as potential maladaptations to be avoided; and (c) conflict mitigation interventions which rely heavily on governance can be leveraged in climate change adaptation efforts. This has multiple implications for global climate change policy, especially when one considers key climate security outcomes emanating from international policy discussions such as COP 28. We conclude this article by identifying three under-examined—and practical—lines of inquiry that would address key knowledge gaps in how to fortify climate resilience in conflict-affected regions.

“…[ 11,12 ] On top of that, such activities have burdened the climate crisis on peace and security as they are regarded as the main factor in discomfiting the 1.5 °C global warming amelioration proposed by the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP26). [ 13 ] From this perspective, an emerging alternative approach involves splitting water to generate clean energy in the form of H 2 and oxygen (O 2 ) gas, achieved through photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, or thermocatalytic techniques. [ 12,14–17 ] These methods have significantly mitigated pollution and achieved zero carbon emissions.…”

In the vast realm of scientific inquiry, the pursuit of hydrogen fuel production through electrochemical water splitting offers a promising gateway to green energy generation, alleviating the challenges posed by resource scarcity. However, conventional water splitting encounters hurdles like low efficiency and the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which prompt searchers to seek for alternative oxidation process. Significant strides are made in conventional electrocatalytic research employing polymeric binders, resulting in commendable catalytic activity and minimal electron migration resistance. Yet, a pivotal breakthrough in this rapidly evolving field lies in the innovative conception of carbon‐based self‐supported electrocatalysts, heralding a promising trajectory ahead. This review delves into the essential electro‐activity parameters to establish the property‐activity nexus, emphasizing the benefits of self‐supported carbon‐based electrodes. Noteworthy advancements are demonstrated in electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), OER, overall water splitting (OWS), and bifunctional HER and alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR), driven by a diverse range of self‐supported electrocatalysts. These include structure‐dependent materials such as metal oxides, hydroxides/oxyhydroxides, phosphides, sulfides, selenides, nitrides, and carbides, each meticulously tailored with nuanced modifications that shape their distinctive attributes. This field also acknowledges its challenges and opportunities, providing guidance for potential research directions and inspiring interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists.

“…These pathways include (1) constructing a tighter continuum from humanitarian assistance to development processes, (2) developing and improving early warning systems in climate-risk hotspots, (3) aligning best-practice safety-net programmes in climate-risk hotspots, and (4) supporting early action with risk finance. These pathways follow analyses of the shortcomings of food systems for peace and security in a climate crisis, and of the connections between climate finance and peace in tackling climate and humanitarian crises (Läderach et al 2021a;2021b).…”

Securing Resilient Livelihoods through Early Warning Systems and Adaptive Safety Nets peter la ¨derach, frans schapendonk, paresh shirsath, giriraj amarnath, steven d. prager, sridhar gummadi, berber kramer, ajit govind, and grazia pacillo Highlights • Understanding the climate-security nexus requires framing risks and resilience, which often reflects a negative cycle of fragility, climate vulnerability, and human insecurity. • Climate actions can enhance a society's climate resilience and generate pathways towards improved peace and security. • These actions include early warnings for food security planning, building local capacity to translate early warnings and climate-informed advisories, climatesmart mapping and adaptation planning, safety-net programmes, and risk finance. • Other changes and interventions are also needed to break the cycle between climate and conflict, align climate actions to peace objectives, and thereby contribute to a climate-resilient peace. From Climate Resilience to Climate SecurityAmbitions to increase resilience, transform food systems, and ensure an end to hunger and malnutrition are intrinsically linked with actions to keep countries, regions, and communities safe. To end dependence on humanitarian assistance for 40 million rural dwellers by 2030 and realign US$5 billion per year for adaptive safety nets, it is critical to embrace a climate-security lens, and in so doing ensure that climate action is aligned with conflict-prevention and peacebuilding objectives (Steiner et al., 2020).Conceptualising the climate-security nexus requires framing risks and resilience. Such framing reflects a negative cycle of fragility, climate vulnerability, and human insecurity, all of which may worsen the risk of violent conflict. In this context, climate change is conventionally framed as a risk multiplier, exacerbating 63
