Anthropogenic climate change currently threatens to exacerbate displacement and conflict around the world. Through this workshop, we seek alternative outcomes and approaches to these challenges. The organizers aim to advance scholarship and policy in two ways. First, they will develop a socio-environmental conception of positive peace that centers indigenous perspectives and environmental justice. And second, they will expand understanding of peacebuilding and migration in understudied regions that are highly vulnerable to climate change, including Southeast Asia, South and Central Asia, and Latin America.

Day 2: Expanding the Lens
Register for March 24, 11:25 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. (ET)
The regions that are at greatest risk of climate change impacts—including Latin America, Southeast Asia, and South Asia—have been the subject of a minority of studies. What resources, methods, and approaches can help us better understand the relationship between peacebuilding, climate change, and migration in these understudied regions? How can we achieve environmental justice in these areas?
