- Description
- The impacts of recent climate disasters in developing countries reveal the harsh reality that people experience. Poor and marginalised people are being driven from their homes with greater frequency and in greater numbers as they are struck by different threats caused and strenghtened by climate change. Besides the causes and consequences of climate-induced displacement, this report outlines how the injustice of climate change, poverty and gender inequality must be met. It provides recommendations to support more gender-equal and resilient communities in sustainable environments.

- Description
- This report examines human development in the Arab world through a human security lens, calling on policymakers and other stakeholders to move away from a state-centric conception of security to one which also concentrates on the security of individuals, their protection and their empowerment. It argues that widespread absence of human security has contributed significantly to the lack of developmental progress in Arab countries. . .The report describes seven dimensions of threat to individual human security in the Arab world: I. Insecure environments including pressure on scarce resources and the impacts of climate change, II. The State contributing to the insecurity of its citizens including using force and coercion, III. Vulnerable groups including children, women, refugees, IDPs and victims of the human trafficking industry who, in reality, have few rights and little means to redress this, IV. Volatile growth, high unemployment and persistent poverty, V. Hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity, VI. Health security challenges, VII. The impact and long-term effects of occupation and military intervention.

- Description
- This paper provides an overview of the links between climate change and gender inequality. There is need for ensurance of the fact that gender equity becomes enshrined in climate strategies and programmes as a matter of social justice and not just a function of economic efficiency. Addressing gender inequality, and how environmental change, disasters, and policy and economic changes arising from the impacts of climate change affect all of these issues, is vital to CARE’s vision for 2020 and beyond.
