    Preparing for natural disasters might help unlock pathways to conflict prevention, write Florian Krampe and Roberta Scassa in New Security Beat’s most read story last month.

Around the world, coastal communities on the frontlines of climate change seek innovative solutions; and women facing inequality need reproductive health services to increase both economic and national security.
