National Dialogues at crossroads: A seriesNational Dialogues x Digitalisation
How does digitalisation shape National Dialogues? To what extent can National Dialogues contribute to shaping digitalisation? National Dialogues are nationally-owned political processes aimed at generating consensus among a broad range of national stakeholders. They can be implemented in times of deep political crisis, in post-war situations or during far-reaching political transition processes that impact the society at large. In this paper, Andreas Hirblinger analyses how digital technologies impact National Dialogue and how they can be used to support such processes.

National Dialogues at crossroads: A seriesNational Dialogues x Climate Change
Over the next decades, climate change will profoundly affect the socio-ecological systems that underpin human societies and result in fundamental social change. Besides its potential to stir tensions or exacerbate violent conflicts, in some contexts, it may provide space for political actors to address long-standing tensions around natural resources or to build new alliances in order to address environmental challenges. But when might a National Dialogue be an appropriate tool to address climate change? Read more about the complex relationship between climate change and National Dialogue processes in this paper.

Climate change effects on conflict dynamics in IraqStudy of Makhmur, Tal Afar, and Al-Rifai districts
The negative effects of climate change and the security risks associated with it are beginning to register across Iraq. Over the past decade, the rise in extreme weather events, such as high temperatures, droughts, desertification, flooding, and sand and dust storms, has caused various severe consequences, including water scarcity, loss of economic livelihoods (particularly for those relying on the agricultural sector), climateinduced displacement and migration, and a rise in food insecurity.

آثار تغيّّر المناخ على ديناميّات النزاع في العراقدراسة أقضية مخمور وتلعفر والرفاعي
بدأ العراق يشعر بوطأة تغيُّر المناخ وزيادة المخاطر الأمنيّة ذات الصلة. وكان لزيادة الظواهر الجويّة القصوى خلال العقد الماضي – بدءًا من درجات الحرارة المرتفعة والجفاف والتصحّر وصولًا إلى الفيضانات والعواصف الرمليّة والغباريّة - عواقب وخيمة عدّة، بما في ذلك ندرة المياه وفقدان سبل العيش الاقتصاديّة، (ولا سيّما بالنسبة إلى الأشخاص المعتمدين على القطاع الزراعي)، والنزوح والهجرة بسبب المناخ، وتزايد انعدام الأمن الغذائي. كما ازدادت قابليّة البلد على التأثّر بهذه العواقب بسبب القدرات المحدودة ونقص الهياكل والآليات التي يمكنها الاستجابة بشكل فعّال لآثار تغّير المناخ والتخفيف من حدّتها. فآثار تغيُّر المناخ أدَّت إلى تفاقم التحدّيات الكثيرة التي تواجهها البلاد، خصوصًا تلك المرتبطة بالنزاع الأخير مع ما يُسمّى بتنظيم الدولة الإسلاميّة (المعروف أيضًا باسم داعش)، فضلًا عن الاستبعاد السياسي وسوء الحوكمة.
