 This is

 the

 inaugur al

 edition

 of

 the

 Ecological

 Thre at R egister

 (ETR),

 which

 co ver s

 15 7

 independent

 b y

 the

 Institute

 Economics and

 (IEP),

 the

 ETR

 me asure s

 ecological

 thr eats that

 countrie s

 are

 curr ently

 f acing

 and

 pr ovide s pr ojections

 to

 2 05 0 .

 The ETR

 is

 unique

 in

 that

 it combine s

 me asure s

 of

 r e silience

 with

 the

 most compr ehensiv e

 ecological

 dat a

 a vailable

 to

 shed

 light on

 the

 countrie s

 le ast

 lik ely

 to

 cope

 with

 e xtr eme ecological

 shock s, now

 and

 into

 the

 futur e.

  The ETR

 include s: population

 gr owth,

 w ater

 str e ss,

 f ood insecurity ,

 dr oughts,

 floods,

 c y clone s

 and

 rising temperatur e

 and

 se a

 lev els.

 In

 the

 to

 are as

 wher e r e silience

 is

 unlik ely

 to

 be

 enough

 to

 adapt

 or cope

 with

 the se futur e

 shock s. The ETR

 cluster s

 thr eats into

 tw o

 major

 domains:

 r esour ce sc ar city

 and

 natural disa sters .

 The r e sour ce

 scar city

 domain

 include s

 f ood insecurity ,

 wa t er

 sc ar city

 and

 high

 pop ula tion

 gr o w th . The natur al

 disaster

 domain

 me asure s

 the

 thr e at

 of floods ,

 droughts ,

 c y clone s ,

 se a

 le v el

 rise

 and

 rising t empera tur e s .

  The ETR

 identifie s

 thr ee

 cluster s

 of

 ecological

 hotspots, which

 are

 par ticularly

 susceptible

 to

 collapse:

  • The Sahel-Horn

 belt

 of

 Africa,

 fr om

 Maurit ania

 to Somalia;

 • The Southern

 African

 belt,

 fr om

 Angola

 to Madagascar ;

 • The Middle

 East

 and

 Centr al

 Asian

 belt,

 fr om

 S yria to

 P akistan.

  W ithin

 the se hotspots

 the

 most

 fr agile

 countrie s

 will include

 Ir an,

 Mo z ambique ,

 Madagascar,

 P akistan

 and K eny a. These countrie s

 are

 br oadly

 st able

 now

 but

 ha v e high

 e xposur e

 to

 ecological

 thr eats

 and

 low

 and deteriorating

 P ositiv e

 P eace,

 which

 me ans the y

 are

 at

 a higher

 risk

 of

 futur e

 collapse .

 In

 addition,

 S yria, Af ghanist an,

 Ir aq,

 Y emen

 and

 Centr al

 African

 R epublic , are

 alr e ady

 suff ering

 fr om

 ongoing

 conflicts

 and

 are also

 highly

 e xposed

 to

 ecological

 thr eats.

 This gr oup

 of countrie s

 are

 alr e ady

 tr apped

 in

 a

 vicious

 c y cle

 wher e competition

 f or

 scar ce

 r e sour ce s

 cr e ate s

 conflict

 and conflict

 in

 turn

 le ads

 to

 fur ther

 r e sour ce

 depletion.

 The w orld’ s

 le ast

 r e silient

 countrie s, when

 f aced

 with ecological

 br e ak do wns,

 are

 mor e

 lik ely

 to

 e xperience civil

 unr e st,

 political

 instability ,

 social

 fr agmentation and

 economic

 collapse .

  High

 r e silience

 r egions,

 such

 as

 Eur ope

 and

 Nor th America,

 ha v e

 superior

 coping

 capacitie s

 to

 mitigate

 the

 effects

 of

 the se ecological

 thr eats,

 how e ver ,

 the y will

 not

 be

 immune

 fr om

 spill

 o ver

 eff ects,

 such

 as

 lar ge flo ws

 of

 r efugee s. The r efugee

 crisis

 of

 2015 highlights that

 e ven

 r elativ ely

 small

 number s

 of

 r efugee s, equiv alent

 to

 half

 a

 per

 cent

 of

 Eur ope ’ s

 population,

 can cause

 consider able

 unr e st

 and

 shif t

 political

 s ystems.

  The

 ETR

 re sult s

 sho w

 that

 1 4 1

 countrie s

 are

 e xposed

 to at

 le ast

 one

 ecological

 thr e at

 betw een

 now

 and

 2 05 0 . The 1 9

 countrie s

 with

 the

 highest

 number

 of

 thr eats ha v e

 a

 population

 of

 2 . 1

 billion

 people .

 These countrie s f ace

 f our

 to

 six

 ecological

 thr eats

 and

 mor e

 than

 half are

 among

 the

 4 0

 le ast

 peaceful

 nations.

 The thr ee countrie s

 with

 the

 highest

 e xposur e

 to

 ecological shock s

 are

 Af ghanist an,

 which

 is

 f acing

 six

 ecological thr eats

 and

 Mo z ambique

 and

 Namibia,

 which

 are

 e ach f acing

 fiv e.

 Another

 16

 countrie s

 are

 f acing

 f our ecological

 thr eats.

  Approximately

 one

 billion

 people

 liv e

 in

 countrie s

 that do

 not

 ha v e

 the

 r e silience

 to

 with

 the

 ecological change s

 the y

 are

 e xpected

 to

 now

 and 2 05 0 .

 Not

 all

 of

 the se people

 will

 be

 displaced,

 how e ver it

 is

 lik ely

 that

 a

 lar ge

 number

 of

 them

 will

 be .

 P akistan, with

 22 0

 million

 people

 is

 the

 countr y

 with

 the

 lar gest number

 of

 people

 at

 risk,

 f ollowed

 b y

 Ir an

 with

 84 million

 people

 at

 risk.

 In

 such

 cir cumst ance s, e ven small

 e vents

 could

 spir al

 into

 instability

 and

 violence le ading

 to

 mass population

 displacement,

 which

 in

 turn would

 ha v e

 negativ e

 implications

 f or

 r egional

 and global

 security .

  Ecological

 thr eats

 in

 many

 case s

 lead

 to

 humanit arian emer gencie s. Curr ently ,

 mor e

 than

 tw o

 billion

 people globally

 f ace

 uncer t ain

 acce ss

 to

 sufficient

 f ood

 f or

 a he alth y

 lif e.

 This number

 is

 lik ely

 to

 incr e ase to

 3 . 5 billion

 b y

 2 05 0 .

 Both

 hunger

 and

 f ood

 insecurity

 ha v e incr eased

 since

 2 01 4 ,

 with

 an

 additional

 300

 million people

 now

 f acing

 f ood

 insecurity .

 The global

 demand f or

 f ood

 is

 pr ojected

 to

 incr e ase b y

 5 0

 per

 cent

 b y 2 05 0 ,

 which

 me ans that

 without

 a

 substantial

 incr e ase in

 supply ,

 many

 mor e

 people

 will

 be

 at

 risk

 of

 hunger and

 f ood

 insecurity .

 E ven

 with

 incr eased

 f ood pr oduction,

 it

 is

 not

 cle ar

 that

 this

 will

 pr ovide

 those most

 in

 need

 with

 mor e

 f ood

 as

 the

 incr eased

 demand will

 come

 fr om

 the

 rising

 middle

 class

 of

 Asia. The CO VID- 1 9

 pandemic

 is

 also

 pr edicted

 to

 negativ ely impact

 global

 f ood

 security

 and

 has not

 been

 f actored into

 this

 analysis.

  The w orld’ s

 le ast

 peaceful

 countrie s

 are

 amongst

 the countrie s

 with

 the

 highest

 lev els

 of

 f ood

 insecurity . Y emen

 is

 In

 addition,

 65

 per cent

 of

 people

 in

 countrie s

 with

 low

 pe ace

 and

 low income

 e xperience

 an

 inability

 to

 aff or d

 adequate

 all

 the

 OE CD countrie s, 16

 per

 cent

 of the

 people

 cannot

 aff or d

 f ood

 at

 all

 the

 time s, while

 2 . 7 per

 are

 considered

 undernourished.

 This highlights

 the

 f act

 that

 people

 e ven

 in

 the

 richest countrie s

 are

 at

 risk

 of

 f ood

 insecurity .

  R egionally ,

 mor e

 than

 half

 of

 the

 population

 in

 sub- Sahar an

 Africa

 and

 one

 third

 of

 the

 population

 in

 South Asia, Latin

 America

 and

 the

 C aribbe an

 and

 the

 Middle East

 and

 Nor th

 Africa

 are

 to

 Curr ently

 18

 of

 the

 2 0

 most

 countrie s

 are

 located

 in

 Africa. The fiv e

 most

 countrie s

 are

 Sierr a

 L eone , Liberia,

 Niger ,

 wher e
