There are many challenges to sustaining peace in post-war countries, and sustainable peace is more than absence of war. To build sustainable peace is to promote conditions where peace can prosper. Today, that means dealing with environmental challenges – such as climate change and exploitation of natural resources – as well as social and political issues.

What is the relationship between sustainable peace and the environment? How do environmental challenges – and ways of responding to them – influence other parts of the peacebuilding process? Can environmental peacebuilding make a difference in Colombia?

Welcome to a seminar that will explore challenges to building sustainable peace in post-war countries, zooming in on environmental issues and the ongoing peace process in Colombia. The seminar is co-organized by FUF and the online magazine Mänsklig Säkerhet.
