Climate change and violent conflict are defining challenges of our time.However, it is not yet understood how they interact in shaping human welfare food security, their interaction shapes gendered outcomes, or social protection systems can mitigate impact.To address these knowledge gaps, we first examine household insecurity relates to climate shocks whether associations gender-sensitive.Second, test what mechanisms reduce the negative impacts shocks.Our empirical analysis relies on novel survey data 7,908 rural households collected across 14 states Sudan 2022.Sudan currently faces floods, droughts, affecting agricultural production supply.We find that do significantly affect consumption scores (FCS), while exposure leads a substantial decrease FCS.Both productive nonproductive assets increase FCS for all households, especially female-headed households.Longer distances input output markets correlate with lower FCS, particularly maleheaded households.Women's group membership positively femaleheaded households.However, women receive additional benefits from other networks during exposure, male-headed benefit types networks.Income diversification identified as key strategy improving conflict.Informal cash transfers improve households.In contrast, formal negatively although impact conflict.Overall, recommend targeted programmes gender disparities enhance resilience among vulnerable populations.

A total 41 articles retained for exported into Visualization Similarities Viewer Software where development research subject, co-occurrence keywords analysis, top publishers, citations link strength done. Findings Results indicate that not new but has gained more consideration post-2020. The emanate from perception constraints based determinants adoption, limitations resilience building achieving sustainable as well contestations around Climate Smart Agriculture technologies. Practical implications Effective design policies should center prioritizing needs local people. would reduce occurrences challenges, promote contribute toward adaptation.
