“…Adapting food systems in a climate crisis is crucial for peace and security; climate change and variability can impact food security and food insecurity can exacerbate the drivers of insecurities [13,29]. Moreover, conflict and climate events significantly disrupt food systems and value chains.…”

A convergence of several risk drivers creates the compound crises we see across the globe today. At the same time, the global humanitarian community and national institutions in affected countries are increasingly resource constrained. In this context, existing financing mechanisms should be evaluated for their potential to create synergies between social protection, peace, and inclusion objectives on the one hand and climate resilience outcomes on the other. The existing international architecture of climate change mitigation and adaptation policy and financing holds, in principle, the potential to address not only its main purpose of climate action, but also to contribute to development outcomes and address multiple risk drivers. Examples of this exist, but for these mutual benefits to emerge, and for climate finance to contribute more significantly to crises prevention, the agendas must become more aligned. Aligning several factors may enable coherence: i) Timeframes, from short-term response to multi-year programming; ii) Planning and targeting, moving towards conflict-sensitive area-based approaches and universal access to services; iii) Institutional arrangements and partnerships, coordinated national planning and jointly implemented local action.

“…To date, research on the impact of the COVID-19 phenomenon and Russia-Ukraine's war on food security tends to be anecdotal. At the end of 2020, more and more peer-reviewed articles began to be published regarding the food security crisis during the economic shock including COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine's war (Kakaei et al, 2022;Läderach et al, 2021;O'Hara & Toussaint, 2021) thereby increasing the quality of available information. However, most of this article remains based on a limited sample, focusing on specific geographic areas and case studies (Breisinger & Ecker, 2014;Ceesay & Ben Omar Ndiaye, 2022;Corriero et al, 2022;Lever et al, 2022).…”

Multiple disruptions in health sectors and geopolitics has been alarming food security worldwide. This study provides insights by assessing the determinants of food security in Indonesia and creating a map of the country's most food insecure areas as a basis of developing anticipating strategies. This study is quantitative in nature using secondary data from the Statistics Indonesia. To estimate the model, we used Non-Parametric Splines Regression and Clustering Analysis. The results show that food security in Indonesia is greatly impacted by rice production, population density, purchasing power index, food expenditures, and harvested area. Additionally, most of the provinces in Indonesia has a medium to high food security level. The results showed the need for integrating Indonesian food chain policies such as land, water, and fertilizer availability. In addition, the Indonesian Bureau of Logistics must take measures to preserve the availability and distribution of staple foods.

“…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
