Interest in the intersections of environmental issues, peace and conflict has surged recent years. Research on topic developed along separate research streams, which broadened knowledge base considerably, but hardly interact across disciplinary, methodological, epistemological ontological silos. Our forum addresses this gap by bringing into conversation six streams environment, conflict: change human security, climate armed conflict, peacebuilding, political ecology, securitisation...
For international and domestic actors, post-conflict peacebuilding is one of the most difficult policy arenas to understand in which operate. Environmental natural resource governance have potential facilitate such contexts, but existing research has not yet produced a cohesive theoretical understanding pathways by management strategies can positive peace. This paper explores wider benefits discusses their for reducing political fragility affected states helping build The outlines three...
Abstract Climate change is having profound effects on global security and peacebuilding efforts. While existing research has mainly focused the link between climate conflict, it largely overlooked complex interplay change, conflict-affected states peacebuilding. exacerbates vulnerabilities in societies by adding stress to livelihoods negatively impacting food, water energy security. This particularly concerning as often felt most acutely settings where public institutions are already failing...
This forum reflects upon the current state of research on post-conflict natural resource management. It identifies two dominant perspectives environmental peacebuilding in literature: one focused cooperation, other risk. Both share a concern for sustainable management resources settings and prescribe cooperation at large as means to foster peace stability. Yet both also feature notable differences: The perspective is driven by faith potential contribute long-term through spillover effects....
There is growing demand for an understanding of peace beyond the absence violence. As such research focuses increasingly on issue state legitimacy as a tool to assess and understand processes. In this paper relationship between service provision studied whether services like electricity rural communities war-torn countries through actors contributes consolidation post-war political system. The qualitative analysis two localities in Nepal highlights that form micro-hydropower yields...
Research suggests that International Organizations (IOs) are getting more involved in efforts to mitigate and adapt climate-related security risks different parts of the world. However, there is still a limited understanding how discourse action on climate develop diffuse across institutional settings various policy fields geographical contexts. This article aims contribute advancing research agenda by outlining an analytical framework helps structure comparison IOs along three key...
Abstract Concern has risen that current global warming and more frequent extreme events such as droughts floods will increase conflict around the world. This concern spurred both social science research on contemporary climate, peace, well in historical sciences past weather, warfare, violence. perspectives article compares these two fields of scholarship examines how each may benefit other. It finds significant convergences methods insights across persistent patterns causal pathways between...
Armed conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza are very visible reminders of the severe negative impacts that armed have on environment. Yet, despite knowledge singular environmental issues specific country contexts, magnitude, temporal, multiscalar impact conflict broader performance has not been quantified. This gap limits ability to design broad targeted measures protection during as well rehabilitation post-conflict period. Here, we conduct first global study conflict. Our analysis shows countries...
Climate and other forms of global environmental change are transforming the security landscape where peace conflict manifest. Given that most studies on relationship between environment focus (the absence of) violent conflicts or negative peace, this study seeks to identify issues at local community levels using concept positive peace. A thematic analysis group discussions from Afghanistan Nepal, two countries with histories vulnerable climate change, reveals non-violent could undermine...
Abstract. In recent years, research on normatively positive social tipping dynamics in response to the climate crisis has produced invaluable insights. contrast, relatively little attention been given potentially negative processes that might unfold due an increasingly destabilized Earth system and how they turn reinforce ecological destabilization and/or impede change. this paper, we discuss selected potential (anomie, radicalization polarization, displacement, conflict, financial...
Water resource management (WRM) has increasingly come to be considered within the realm of peacebuilding. Through investigating case water in Kosovo after 1999, this study argues that international community treated post-conflict as a primarily technical issue, neglect its complex political nature. This impeded peacebuilding process three ways. First, it consolidated physical separation actors through allowing separate governance structures. Second, avoided conflictive issues instead...
States have been negotiating climate mitigation actions centred around greenhouse gas emissions for several decades. In the wake of Paris Agreement, a significant body research has emerged reflecting on unintended negative consequences action. More recently, this includes focus adaptation actions. The impacts have, together, labelled 'maladaptation'. Maladaptation as articulated in literature takes many forms: e.g. displacement communities from traditional lands such forests and pasture,...
Development initiatives aimed at mitigating or adapting to climate change impacts may result in unanticipated effects especially conflict-affected contexts. To improved understanding of the implications future development projects states, this article qualitatively examines experiences local communities Zinda Jan district, located downstream from Salma Dam Herat Province, Afghanistan. Conducted 2018, research questions what local-level side (LLSEs) were experienced by after its 2016...
Abstract The question of ownership—that is, who is included and excluded from policy processes—has become one the most pressing issues in global discourse on peace conflict. While research shows that inclusion domestic actors critical to success, broader international processes often neglect these actors. Focused environmental peacebuilding—the sustainable management natural resources post-conflict settings—as an emerging area, this article employs qualitative content analysis (QCA) study...
This article presents an examination of post-conflict water resource management in East Timor through the United Nations Transitional Administration (UNTAET) with aim contributing to our understanding opportunities and challenges inherent sustainable resources countries gaining insight into its potential long-term benefits for sustaining peace. The contributes one first theory-centred, empirical analyses management, which failures UNTAET shed light on risks service provision peacebuilding.
Abstract. Following empirical research on the dynamics of conflict and cooperation under climate change, we discuss complex transitions interactions, connected to models tipping points, compounding cascading risks. In context multiple crisis, pathways in climate-conflict nexus are analysed, with conflict-relevant conditions, risk indicators societal responses effects vulnerability. System agent considered analyze dynamic trajectories, equilibria, stability, chaos simulations as well adaptive...
Global health catastrophes have complex origins, often rooted in social disruption, poverty, conflict, and environmental collapse. Avoiding them will require a new integrative analysis of the links between disease, armed degradation within socioecological vulnerability human security context. Exploring these connections was aim Catastrophe: Linking Armed Conflict, Harm to Ecosystems, Public Health, an expert workshop held May 4–6, 2016, at Concordia University Montreal, QC, Canada.
