Climate, peace and conflict

Mapping linkages and a path forward

The climate change and peace communities each operate with its own set of objectives, approaches and taxonomies that have evolved over decades in separate siloes. Yet amid the differences, both fields share the ambition to create resilient, inclusive, and prosperous societies. Integrated approaches can maximise the synergies between climate action and peacebuilding. This paper seeks to provide an overview of this field, to examine some of the main principles relevant to actors working on peacebuilding and mediation support, and to provide some examples of effective initiatives that build on these principles.
