The document outlines how to integrate conflict sensitivity and peacebuilding into the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. It identifies six enabling factors—leadership, data, finance, institutional arrangements, stakeholder engagement, and capacity development—and provides specific entry points across the planning, implementation, and monitoring phases to ensure climate adaptation does not exacerbate tensions and instead supports long-term peace.

  • There is a strong overlap between state fragility and climate vulnerability, with many of the most fragile states also being the most vulnerable to climate change.
  • Climate change acts as a threat multiplier that can exacerbate existing tensions and governance challenges, increasing the risk, duration, or severity of conflicts, particularly in regions with weak institutions.
  • Conflict-affected states face severe climate data gaps because infrastructure, such as weather stations, is often destroyed or neglected during violence, and professional staff may be dismissed or killed.
  • International climate finance is significantly lower for fragile states compared to non-fragile states; for example, extremely fragile states received an average of only 2.1 USD per person, compared to 161.7 USD for non-fragile states.
  • Effective conflict-sensitive NAPs require a spectrum of interventions ranging from 'do no harm' (the minimum standard) to proactive peacebuilding that addresses the root causes of conflict.
  • The document recommends specific 'entry points' for conflict sensitivity, such as conducting a conflict analysis during the NAP inventory phase and integrating conflict considerations into Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (VRAs).
  • Adaptation measures can be designed to provide peacebuilding co-benefits, such as using traditional conflict resolution mechanisms (e.g., Tara Bandu in Timor-Leste) or creating livestock corridors to reduce pastoralist tensions (e.g., in Togo and Burkina Faso).
  • Cross-border cooperation on climate adaptation, such as managing shared river basins, can serve as a tool for environmental peacebuilding and trust-building between neighboring states.
