This brief summarizes the presentations and discussions from the eighth International Expert Forum (IEF) on environmental governance, climate change and peacebuilding. The purpose of the IEF was to unpack and revisit the links between environmental factors and issues pertaining to peace and conflict and to discuss how environmental governance and climate change policies can contribute to peacebuilding.
For organizations working in the field of peacebuilding and conflict prevention, there is a growing need to understand these linkages, and integrate a more holistic approach in our programming and daily activities.
