Conflict zones are at the crossroads of efficiency, humanitarian need, and geopolitical power, in which politics of access and chronic uncertainty reform flows in logistics and supply chains.

Chokepoint disruption at Bab el-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz disrupts routes, increases costs and emissions, compromising resilience on the global scale This chapter maps six categories of vulnerabilities and makes the case using the SCOR model that conflict-sensitive adaptation and practical corridor, partnership, sanctions, and digital-visibility actions are needed.
