Contemporary armed conflicts have become protracted, complex and urbanised with far-reaching socio-economic and environmental consequences. In Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Syria, Colombia, Yemen and other parts of the world, populations have been affected by war for years on end and in some instances for decades. Deterioration of basic services and livelihoods, displacement, increase of hunger, and degradation of the environment and natural resources are among the dire socio-economic and environmental consequences of such conflicts. In this online panel discussion, on Wednesday 2 June 2021, 3.00pm BST, our esteemed speakers will explore how the environment, natural resources, food security, and the protection of economic, social, and cultural rights can be approached during and in the aftermath of armed conflicts to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development. The moderated panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session. The event is part of the Endless Conflicts project and the webinar series of the Glasgow Centre for International Law and Security.

Moderators: Dr Asli Ozcelik Olcay, Dr Giedre Jokubauskaite
