🗣️ @nazaninemoshiri @AndrewCiacci & @OECDdev's Giorgio Gualberti.

Tune in 👇

50% of climate-affected countries are also impacted by violent conflict. Yet countries who suffer from this deadly combination receive less funding than conflict-free ones.

Vital that leaders at #COP27 rectify this imbalance.

Tune in to learn more.

“When funding arrives it’s often in the form of loans. This is troubling as climate-affected countries who also experience conflict are under high levels of debt,” says

"The African continent as a whole is only able to attract a lower share of climate funds," deplores Giorgio Gualberti, citing recent @OECDdev data.

“We have some notable no-shows at this year’s #COP27, with absent leadership from #China, #Russia and #India,” says @nazaninemoshiri.

Is #COP being overshadowed by other geopolitical concerns?

Some answers 👇

“Some applications for climate funding can take up to 10 years. In places like #Somalia that’s a bleak outlook”

A far-right coalition is set to govern #Israel after #Netanyahu and his ultra-conservative allies won last week’s elections.

What are the implications for the country’s policy and foreign relations?

Q&A w/ @MairavZ & @USMEP’s Daniel levy 👇
crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…
The election represents a triumph of the far-right, with three ultra-conservative parties forming the winning coalition. The outcome will see former PM @netanyahu return to power in spite of his ongoing trial for corruption.
The election results are the culmination of a steady increase in religiosity and a growing rightward shift in #Israel society over the last two decades.

#Ecuador’s reputation as one of the safest Latin American countries is changing as homicides and violence rise at alarming rates.

2022 is already its deadliest year ever registered.

What’s behind this surge in violence?

New @ICGlatam commentary 👇🧵
crisisgroup.org/latin-america-…
#Ecuador had a stable security situation between 2011 and 2017 that former president Rafael Correa attributed to the adoption of a number of reforms such as the creation of a Ministry of Justice.

But criminal organisations were also invigorated over the same period.
Homicides and violence surged in 2018 due to a repeated attacks by FARC dissidents, demobilised in 2017.

During these attacks other criminal networks took advantage of the mayhem to flex their muscles across #Ecuador and increase their activity.

Climate change is fuelling deadly conflict in a number of ways.

@CrisisGroup we highlight how this dangerous dynamic works and what world leaders can do to mitigate it.

Follow this live #COP27 thread for daily updates on climate security.

→crisisgroup.org/global/cop-spe…
.@RobBlecher testified before the U.S. Congress and explained the three main categories of security risks:

1) Cascading risks. How climate change can undermine livelihoods and induce competition over land, water, and other resources, driving conflict.
In #Kenya, the ongoing drought in the Laikipia plateau has led to renewed violence between pastoralists and farmers as well as between security forces and herders.

“There is very little time left to save lives here in #Somalia” warns @nazaninemoshiri from Dollow, a town situated on the border with #Ethiopia.
In the absence of a significant scale-up of humanitarian supplies, @FEWSNET predicts an alarming acceleration of death and destitution in the coming months as more and more families exhaust their last options for survival 👇
Displaced people in Dollow told @OmarSMahmood & @nazaninemoshiri that the drought has decimated livestock, almost three million animals have died and destroyed the farming capacity of entire villages.

Food prices have soared even higher following the crisis in Ukraine.

One step forward, two steps back.

Such is the dance of the diplomatic saga that is the #JCPOA negotiations.

Today, the music has stopped and the #IranNuclearDeal is at risk of collapsing.

[Thread] 🧵👇
crisisgroup.org/b87-middle-eas…
An important reminder: the process is not over.

Parties to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (#JCPOA) continue to express their intention to revive the deal.

Though it seems unlikely today, parties were very close to reaching an agreement in March earlier this year.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine blew the #JCPOA negotiations off the map, and talks lost their momentum.

When the parties reconvened, some of the gaps that the two sides thought they had narrowed or closed had reappeared or even widened.
