“The following presents an investigation of available capacities for the Consensual and Sustainable Management of Land and Natural Resources within the UN system. This analysis is based on findings presented by available expertise, such as the Study “Linking Environment and Conflict Prevention” by Swisspeace/ CSS, a preliminary resource inventory for the UN-EC Partnership and additional web research. Non-UN resources were added where appropriate. Valuable information about the practical relevance of the existing capacities, potential gaps and regional particularities has been retrieved in the course of phone interviews with a number of practitioners in the field and at headquarters level. These qualitative interviews were conducted along the lines of five broader questions, which can be found in the Annex of this study.”
