The Lake Chad region continues to face the combined effects of violent conflict, climate‑related shocks and environmental degradation. These pressures undermine livelihoods, strain natural resources and drive population displacement.
This report assesses how the Regional Strategy for Stabilisation, Recovery and Resilience (RS‑SRR) has influenced efforts to prevent and manage climate‑related peace and security risks in the Lake Chad region. While the strategy has contributed to reducing armed‑group violence and supporting early recovery, the research shows that climate and environmental stressors continue to drive instability and fuel new inter‑community conflicts. Fieldwork highlights how livelihood erosion, resource scarcity and environmental degradation shape everyday insecurity, yet climate adaptation remains weakly integrated into stabilisation and resilience programming.
