“…However, beyond food availability, conflict can affect accessibility by disrupting or preventing transport of food to market, consumers' access to markets, and wider impacts of economic shocks on food prices. In addition to the conflict-food systems nexus drawing together a multitude of overlapping stakeholders and issues, there is also a potential for interlinkages between seemingly disparate components (Patel et al, 2020).…”

This scoping study maps the conflict and food systems nexus to identify broad themes, specific components and remaining gaps in research. Applying systems thinking and network analysis, the analysis points to three trends. First, studies are heavily focused on production, with relatively less attention to aspects including transport, trade and household utilisation. Second, geographically, food systems within Africa and at country‐level are well‐represented in existing research, at the expense of other regions and scales. Third, specific modalities of violence are often omitted, and we observe a tendency to aggregate discrete forms of insecurity. The study has implications for scholars and practitioners seeking to better understand and respond to conflict's impacts on food systems and suggests avenues for further research.

“…Vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of individuals, communities, or systems to harm or adverse impacts stemming from various factors such as socioeconomic disparities, environmental degradation, or inadequate infrastructure [21,[52][53][54]. According to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), 2015-2030, assessing vulnerability is a significant stage in disaster risk management and reinforcing resilience [55,56]. The SFDRR defines vulnerability as how climate events can harm human beings, their livelihoods, property, capital assets, and the urban environment [57].…”

Despite the increasing number of flood studies, the interrelationships between urban form indices (UFIs) and flood resilience (FR) have received little attention and hold miscellaneous perspectives. Consequentially, this study identifies how UFIs at various spatial scales affect FR by synthesizing article findings and proposing insights for future research. Scientometric analysis has been used to analyze the gathered peer-reviewed articles from nine research engines without time restrictions. One hundred and eighteen relevant articles were included and thoroughly investigated using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Our findings indicate that divergent and dialectical perspectives about the efficacy of UFIs are due to multiple disciplines, methodologies, and different case study contexts. The included studies were classified according to urban scale as macro (citywide), meso (districts), micro (block), and multi-scalar analysis by 80.5%, 6.8%, 10.2%, and 2.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the included studies were categorized based on analysis type into realistic case studies, literature reviews, modeling, and hybrid analysis, with 74.6%, 7.6%, 14.4%, and 3.4%, respectively. At the macroscale, city density and spatial distribution degree have the most significant effect on FR. At the same time, mixed uses, connectivity, coverage ratio, block arrangements, and street characteristics are on the meso and micro scales. Further studies on the trade-offs and commonality between UFIs, FR, and overall urban resilience are required to shape climate-adaptive, sustainable communities.

“…In some ways, concerns such as these can be addressed by strategies that focus primarily on people, their needs, and their capabilities rather than just on roads or buildings and an if you build it, they will come infrastructure-based mentality. Research shows that such communitybased efforts in natural hazard contexts (Peters et al, 2022) and armed conflict-affected settings provide sustainable ways to reach vulnerability-reduction goals through direct partnership and coproduction with vulnerable populations themselves (Patel et al, 2021;Peters et al, 2022).…”

The Trade-Offs of Ukraine's Recovery: Fighting for the Future

In making decisions about reconstruction, the Ukrainian people and their government will face trade-offs regarding timelines, prioritization of efforts, leadership, and funding. This report aims to advance the understanding of these trade-offs and their ramifications. This will not only improve the decisionmaking process but also result in outcomes that are easier for the Ukrainian people and the broader international community to understand and accept. We intended to build bridges between ideas circulating in two communities of research and practice-one focusing on disaster risk reduction and the second working on directly developing the strategies and tactics of Ukraine's reconstruction. We hope both find this report useful. RAND Center for Russia and EurasiaThis work was undertaken by the RAND Center for Russia and Eurasia, part of International Programs at the RAND Corporation. The center convenes experts from across RAND to shed light on the foreign policies, domestic developments, and economic relationships of former Soviet republics. Drawing on researchers' expertise in multiple disciplines and deep knowledge of the region, projects aim to understand and enhance the security, health, education, and wellbeing of citizens in postSoviet states and to improve international relations among those states and those engaging with them.
