This session at Alliance for Peacebuilding's 2015 Annual Conference will brainstorm effective collaboration to advance peacebuilding and reduce conflict over natural resources. Following an introduction to the theory and practice of environmental peacebuilding, the session will break into small groups to discuss the relevance of environmental peacebuilding to practice in the field and consider options to increase collaboration across sectors.

This session will be held Friday, May 15, 2015, from 2:30 to 3:45 at the annual meeting of the Alliance for Peacebuilding, in Washington, D.C.  The Alliance for Peacebuilding annual conference brings together members of the peacebuilding community with leading policymakers, members of the military, private sector professionals, and civil society representatives to help build bridges in both theory and practice between these fields. From repression of civil society in Russia, to the protests over Ferguson here at home, the conference will highlight the impact of social movements on peace and democracy.
