Environment, Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice: Central Africa

Jul 7, 2021 | Bosch Alumni Network in partnership with the Environmental Peacebuilding Association
online

Across communities and societies that have experienced conflicts where natural resources have been one of the factors, we find an undeniable link between the protection of the environment and the resources in question, and the protection of civilians. Damaged livelihoods that depend on the very environment and its resources for survival require rehabilitation and restoration as much as the human society requires
rehabilitation and restoration.

Thus, this calls for the diverse actors involved in post conflict societies to adopt environmentally sensitive approaches in their initiatives. Mechanisms that are established to support stabilization and transition, including transitional justice mechanisms in their diversity, can no longer over look this nexus between environment, peace and stability.
