Africa: Conflict and Climate - Double Threat Driving Great Lakes Displacement

The Great Lakes region of Africa is facing a surge in displacement as climate-related hazards intersect with long-standing conflict. This dual threat has created a compounding crisis, forcing vulnerable populations to navigate repeated cycles of instability and humanitarian need.

Efforts to address this displacement are currently hindered by fragmented institutional responses. The lack of a unified approach leaves affected communities exposed to ongoing crises, highlighting the need for more integrated strategies to manage the combined impact of environmental instability and regional violence.
