When disasters and conflicts collide: improving links between disaster resilience and conflict prevention

  Available online: http://www.odi.org.uk/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-fil [...]

This report focuses on the links between conditions of vulnerability and risks associated with the nexus of natural disasters, conflict and fragility. It also recognises that any given context will be mired by an even more complex array of intersecting risks. For example, in 2011, drought, and food and political insecurity in East Africa contributed to a full-scale humanitarian crisis. A combination of natural hazards, conflict and fragility provided a recipe for human suffering.
