Investing in Actors, Not Just Projects: How Strengthening Organizational Capacities for Conflict Sensitivity Can Help Advance Environmental Peacebuilding

Date & Time
Jun 16, 2026 | 13.30 - 15.00

Participants
Heloise Heyer, PeaceNexus (Switzerland)

In this proposed workshop, the PeaceNexus Foundation proposes to team up with its long-term conflict sensitivity partners that would be present at the conference to facilitate an exchange on what conflict sensitivity organisational integration entails, and how it can support environmental peacebuilding. Partners include Oxfam, IOM, WWF, AWF, CI, GYBN, GGGI and others. Each would present snippets of their own organisational change processes with regard to conflict and peace, and share about how conflict sensitivity has helped create a connection to exchange across sectors. Participants would then be invited to support each other in conducting a snapshot analysis of their own organisations and possible entry points to advance conflict sensitivity and capacities to engage in environmental peacebuilding in line with their core primary mission.
