A 2018 United Nations report highlights the growing need for funding and assistance to the Lake Chad Basin (LCB). The food security crisis in the LCB is a blend of complex factors relating to the declining water of Lake Chad and protracted insecurity fanned by Boko Haram insurgency. Unfortunately, development agencies sometimes focus less on how the climate change-insecurity nexus is becoming increasingly consequential in explaining the LCB’s profile in fragility. This paper considers the extent to which international agencies and nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) respond to multiple crises, integrating both climate change and security facets in their analysis and response to the food crisis besetting the LCB. Findings from interviews in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger reveal that NGOs fail to sufficiently take climate change into account in their policies and strategies, in that many food assistance programs are climate change neutral in content and focus.

解开生态脆弱且冲突频发的乍得湖流域的粮食安全危机：审视非政府组织对气候变化与安全关系的反应

2018 年联合国报告强调，乍得湖流域 (LCB) 对资金和援助的需求日益增长。乍得湖水位下降和博科圣地叛乱引发的长期不安全局势等复杂因素共同导致了乍得边境地区的粮食安全危机。不幸的是，发展机构有时不太关注气候变化与不安全之间的关系如何在解释LCB的脆弱性方面变得越来越重要。本文考虑了国际机构和非政府组织 (INGO) 应对多重危机的程度，将气候变化和安全方面纳入分析和应对困扰 LCB 的粮食危机。对喀麦隆、乍得和尼日尔的采访结果表明，非政府组织在其政策和战略中未能充分考虑气候变化，因为许多粮食援助计划在内容和重点上对气候变化保持中立。
