About the Transatlantic Academy

The Transatlantic Academy was created in 2007 as a par tnership between the German Marshall

Fund of the United States (GMF) and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius. The Robert

Bosch Stiftung and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation joined as full part ners beginning in

2008, and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation joined as a full partner in 2011. The Compagnia di San

Paolo joined in providing additional support in May 2009, as did the Joachim Herz Stiftung and the

Volkswagen Stifung in 2011. In addition, the Academy received startup funding from the Trans-

atlantic Program of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany through funds of the

European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

On the cover: One of the worlds longest and heaviest trains carries a load of Pilbara iron ore (red

gold) to port through a rugged desert landscape in outback Western Australia. BeyondImages

* Note on Somalia and Somaliland: In this paper, Somaliland is considered to be a legal part of Somalia, since Somaliland does not have

internationally recognized independence. The data for political stability, agricultural stressors, and resource reserves also does not consider thetwo entities separately. Therefore, on the map, the designation between Somalia and Somaliland is shown with a dotted line, but the data and

evaluation does not distinguish between the two.

** Note on Sudan and South Sudan: The data for this paper comes from before South Sudans separation from Sudan proper in July 2011.

Therefore, for the purposes of this paper, assessments of Sudan and South Sudans political stability, agricultural stressors, and resource

reserves were considered as a unified Sudan. When new data for the two separate countries becomes available, new risk assessments should be

made in which case both countries may not necessarily be at high risk.

interconnections

between

environmental

change and the
