This report presents the findings of an extensive consultation on environmental peacemaking conducted across nine southern and northern governorates of Yemen. The consultation reached out to over 2,400 people to better understand their perspectives and needs regarding climate and environmental risks, including grievances and conflicts relating to environmental issues, and the potential peacemaking solutions that involve the environment as an entry point or element for resolution, reconciliation and prevention. The results offer important insights into how unaddressed environmental risks are aggravating existing tensions and the interest of the broad Yemeni society in integrating the environment into peace efforts.
