Climate Change and Conflict in Hadhramawt and Al Mahra
Based on interviews conducted in two Yemeni governorates hit hard by the effects of climate change, Helen Lackner identifies the key environmental issues facing the populations of Hadhramawt and Al Mahra today. The report shows how they are connected to conflict in the two governorates, and explores what local authorities, communities and international actors are doing and can do in the future to mitigate the impacts of climate change and better manage the conflicts that derive from it.

After the peace process, the mountains are burningExploring transitional and climate justice linkages in the Bangsamoro
This paper explores the intersection of climate justice and transitional justice through the case study of community-level climate initiatives in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Philippines. It identifies community-led climate actions that fuse transitional justice elements of truth-telling, reparative agency, and guarantees of non-recurrence in ways that challenge institutional silos between post-conflict and environmental governance. The findings demonstrate that addressing climate disasters in the BARMM is inseparable from resolving the historical land-based injustices and colonial displacement that created communal vulnerability. The study concludes that institutional frameworks must recognise and support community-led climate justice rather than displacing local agency with top-down technical solutions, and identifies the Bangsamoro Transitional Justice and Reconciliation Act of 2025 as a critical institutional opening for this integration.
