The fact sheet offers a range of recommended actions for the international community to address these issues effectively. <\/span>The Abyei Administrative Area, a disputed territory that lies between Sudan and South Sudan, faces complex interconnected challenges. Communities in Abyei largely depend on climate-sensitive livelihoods such as cattle herding, farming and seasonal migration. Increased flooding and prolonged dry spells in recent years have reduced crop yields, affected livestock rearing and displaced households, which has deepened existing livelihood and security challenges. Limited basic services and poor infrastructure, combined with weak governance, constrain the coping capacities of local communities and increase their need for humanitarian assistance. Yet funding cuts and insecurity have led some humanitarian organizations to scale back operations, while the civil war in Sudan continues to increase humanitarian needs in Abyei. The territory\u2019s disputed status further impedes long-term development planning to address interconnected challenges, including climate-related security risks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)\/EDITORS<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dynamic-block-fieldnode-commentary-about-the-authors field--label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item\">\n<div class=\"views-element-container\">\n<div class=\"js-view-dom-id-2fef3882e595ef8f8ab15839bccfa28368aebe2b49b0506d0dfc477aa2a21b63\">\n<div class=\"views-row\">\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-field-image\">\n<div class=\"field-content\">  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/katongo-seyuba\" hreflang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/2022-09\/katongo_seyuba_2.jpg?itok=mkcy_ffU\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Katongo Seyuba\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-body\">\n<div class=\"field-content\"> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/katongo-seyuba\" hreflang=\"en\">Katongo Seyuba<\/a> is a Researcher in the SIPRI Climate Change and Risk Programme.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"views-row\">\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-field-image\">\n<div class=\"field-content\">  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/dr-thor-olav-iversen\" hreflang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/default_images\/Logo_black.jpg?itok=_ysXWhz8\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Default profile image\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-body\">\n<div class=\"field-content\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/dr-thor-olav-iversen\" hreflang=\"en\">Dr Thor Olav Iversen<\/a> is a\u00a0Senior Researcher\u00a0in NUPI\u2019s Climate, Peace and Security Risks Project.\u00a0   <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"views-row\">\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-field-image\">\n<div class=\"field-content\">  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/kheira-tarif\" hreflang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/default_images\/Logo_black.jpg?itok=_ysXWhz8\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Default profile image\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-body\">\n<div class=\"field-content\"> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/kheira-tarif\" hreflang=\"en\">Kheira Tarif<\/a> is a Researcher in the SIPRI Climate Change and Risk Programme.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"views-row\">\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-field-image\">\n<div class=\"field-content\">  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/dr-andrew-e-yaw-tchie\" hreflang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/default_images\/Logo_black.jpg?itok=_ysXWhz8\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Default profile image\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-body\">\n<div class=\"field-content\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/dr-andrew-e-yaw-tchie\" hreflang=\"en\">Dr Andrew E.
