The Environmental Peacebuilding Association (EnPAx) has developed a series of Interest Groups to provide Association members with venues to engage around their shared interest in specific topics. To date, the Association has established Interest Groups on Disasters & Resilience, Law, Monitoring & Evaluation, and Water. We expect the next Interest Groups to be developed will likely focus on gender, forests, and education.

EnPAx Interest Groups are spaces for collaborative work, networking, mentoring, and sharing knowledge and expertise. Although specific activities will vary depending on the Interest Group, activities may include, among other activities, organizing panels, webinars, and other events; preparing technical papers and other publications; selecting and maintaining a group of experts that can be contacted for information by individuals and groups outside the Association; and organizing sessions at the First International Conference on Environmental Peacebuilding in October 2019.

Stay tuned in the coming months as we expect to develop webpages and discussion forums for each Interest Group. Please also keep an eye on the EnPAx Interest Groups page for new Interest Groups as they are developed.

Interest Groups are open to all Association members. To express interest in participating in a particular Interest Group or to suggest possible Interest Groups, please email association@environmentalpeacebuilding.org.
