4.2c How can resilient livelihoods for farmers and pastoralists in protracted crises and climate change be supported?
Background
Conflict is increasing, the humanitarian context is rapidly becoming more volatile, and humanitarian need has reached unprecedented levels in recent years. We support independent, public-good research and draw on available evidence to inform our work on preventing, resolving and recovering from conflict; protecting civilians; promoting peaceful and sustainable transitions from conflict; preventing and mitigating the humanitarian consequences of forced displacement; effective humanitarian interventions; innovations for better humanitarian outcomes; and forecasting, anticipating, and preparing for future disasters and crisis.
