Northwest Climate Peace Hubs: A Climate Security Approach to Conflict Prevention

The Northwest Climate Peace Hubs: A Climate Security Approach to Conflict Prevention component led by Building Blocks for Peace Foundation strengthened community resilience and prevented climate-driven conflicts across Sokoto and Katsina States,

The Northwest Climate Peace Hubs: A Climate Security Approach to Conflict Prevention project was designed to address climate change as a driver of regional insecurity, focusing on the intersection of climate resilience and conflict prevention. The Northwest region of Nigeria is highly vulnerable to extreme weather, resource scarcity, and ecosystem disruptions, which can heighten competition for resources and escalate local tensions. The initiative aimed to enhance stability by fostering peace and resilience at the community level, particularly in Sokoto and Katsina States.
