Ongoing conflicts, climate change and global economic uncertainty are likely to keep the situation in many countries at a critical level or even worsen it, it said.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">In particular, the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East could further exacerbate the situation in certain countries and regions. However, the network said it is still too early for a precise assessment.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Germany's Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development joined the GNAFC at the beginning of the year.
