Without Peace there is No End to Hunger: The contribution of the Two Degree Initiative (2DI) to Peace and Security

Bonilla-Findji O, Schapendonk F, Laderach P. 2020. Without Peace there is No End to Hunger: The contribution of the Two Degree Initiative (2DI) to Peace and Security. CGIAR Focus Climate Security Info Note. CGIAR Research program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).

This document and analysis highlight the importance of Climate Security for the Two Degree Initiative (2DI) and its articulation in the 2DI impact pathway and the Global Themes. This is an invitation to include Climate Security in the framing of 2DI recognizing that:

i) Without peace, there is no end to hunger. ii) CGIAR and CCAFS already contribute to peace but without proper articulation. iii) Well-articulated CGIAR/CCAFS contributions to peace open the doors to impacts at scale and novel partnerships along the Humanitarian-Development and Peace (HDP) nexus.

The document highlights the importance of Climate for Peace and Security, summarizes past CGIAR contribution to Peace and Security, summarizes 2DI stakeholder consultations process and presents the untapped potential of articulating Climate Security in the 2DI.
