dcterms.abstractOver the past decade, the world has become considerably less peaceful. The 2021 Global Peace Index (GPI) reports that the average level of global peacefulness deteriorated for the ninth time in thirteen years in 2020, in part due to increased political instability and civil unrest fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic (Institute for Economics & Peace 2021). The evidence on conflicts around the world since the turn of the century points to a simple conclusion: conflicts, grievances and insecurities are increasingly being affected by changing climates, environmental degradation, food insecurity, and the struggle to control a finite pool of natural resources. The Central American Dry Corridor (CADC) is a region particularly at risk of climate change and fragility. Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua are projected to suffer strong rainfall variability and intense droughts in the coming years. Such droughts and floods threaten food security in these countries, which are already prone to high levels of violent crime and political instability. The Latin America and Caribbean region as a whole is the most violent region on earth, according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP 2021).en
