The fact sheet offers a range of recommended actions for the international community to address these issues effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The ongoing insecurity in the Lake Chad region\u2014which intersects Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria\u2014cannot be understood in isolation from climate and environmental change. Climate change-related stressors\u2014such as increasingly variable precipitation and drought\u2014contribute to existing tension and conflict between different communities by exacerbating scarcity of natural resources, including land, water and food. Such pressures amplify the tensions between local community members, refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs), and between livelihood groups such as arable farmers, fishers and pastoralists. Through its destabilizing impacts on livelihoods, climate change can further increase vulnerability to recruitment by violent extremist organizations, such as Boko Haram and Islamic State\u2013West Africa Province (ISWAP) and other unidentified armed groups and bandit networks, that operate throughout the region.<\/span><\/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-06fb95d9863d887cad813692e731c93ffdbecd281ef42f5f8f348c3c168b7ccf\">\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 Senior Researcher in the Climate, Peace and Security Risks Project at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI).\n   <\/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\/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-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.
