Climate and security challenges are intertwined in a region claimed by both Sudan and South Sudan. Humanitarian pressures and economic difficulties persist, contributing to tensions between communities. Displacement and intercommunal strife are ongoing concerns.

Extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, impact the livelihoods of communities and hinder the work of peacekeepers. This can limit their ability to protect civilians and carry out their mission. Further information on the situation and its complexities can be found through relief reports, which provide more details on the challenges faced by communities and the operating environment of peacekeeping forces.
