Climate, peace and conflictMapping linkages and a path forward
Despite the increasingly evident intersection of climate and conflict risks, the two communities continue to operate in separate spheres, each relying on distinct approaches and taxonomies that have evolved over decades. However, recent efforts promote better alignment of climate action and peacebuilding strategies to maximize their impact and advance shared ambitions of creating resilient, inclusive, and prosperous societies. This paper seeks to provide an overview of the evolving climate, peace and conflict field, exploring key principles essential for peacebuilding and mediation support actors and highlighting successful initiatives that exemplify these principles in action.
