HIGHLIGHTS
The region is exposed to a range of environmental and social pressures.
47 defined international humanitarian emergencies were identified between 2000 and 2012.
The results highlight the short recurrence intervals for major shocks and the annual co-occurrence of multiple shocks.
The research signals a transition from conditions of armed conflict seen in the 1980s and 1990s to social conflicts, often in urban areas, particularly in national capitals.
