dc.description.abstractIn this brief the authors combine granular climate data on flooding, drought and extreme heat, and district level food insecurity data and conflict data, to produce district level estimates of the number and percentage of those experiencing multiple deprivations. The authors find that around half of Yemenis are exposed to at least one climate hazard of either extreme heat, drought, or flooding. Moreover, a quarter of the population suffers from the compounding effects of food insecurity and exposure to climate hazards. Most districts that see the highest levels of compounding food insecurity and exposure to climate hazards have also been impacted by the ongoing conflict. To hasten post-conflict recovery, investments are needed that are more area targeted, including shock responsive social protection, agriculture, and water management initiatives to mitigate the long-term harm caused by multiple and intersecting shocks and resulting deprivations.en
