From climate stress to social strainMigration, governance and local resilience in Iraq
This research report examines how climate change, migration and social cohesion intersect across four climate-affected governorates in Iraq: Nineveh, Diyala, Kirkuk and Al-Sulaymaniyah. Using a multi-layered methodology that combines desk reviews, secondary quantitative analysis and field-based insights from key informant interviews and focus group discussions, the underlying research captures the lived realities of local communities behind policy debates and provides evidence-based recommendations.

Entry points for climate finance and peacebuilding in Afghanistan
This report examines the current climate finance landscape in Afghanistan, analysing funding trends before and after 2021 and identifying entry points for action under current political constraints.
It explores how political constraints and institutional gaps have reshaped access, delivery, and co-financing dynamics, while identifying emerging models for indirect implementation through UN agencies, NGOs, and regional mechanisms. Comparative case studies from Haiti, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo illustrate how other fragile states have mobilised climate finance amidst instability.

Local transitional justice practices for climate justiceThe case of Nkhulambe, Malawi
This paper explores the intersection of climate justice and transitional justice through the case study of community-level engagements with climate change in the rural area of Nkhulambe, Malawi. It shows that residents have developed their own climate responses that tackle more fully the manifold climate harms they have experienced than top-down climate responses to date. These community-led measures address climate harms which occurred in the past, while building solidarity in the present, in order to prevent and reduce the harms of future climate events, as such they can be understood as climate-focused transformative transitional justice in practice. Moreover, they have the potential to complement and strengthen top-down national and international efforts, making them more inclusive and responsive to communities affected by climate harms, as well as opening the door to more equitable climate action.
