What role does the environment have in current and future conversations about how to promote, create, and maintain international peace through research and government initiatives? This question was at the forefront of conversation at the Third International Conference on Environmental Peacebuilding hosted by the Environmental Peacebuilding Association (EnPAx) and Leiden University's Grotius Centre in The Hague this June. With 5 key themes - Climate Change; Water; Peace, Justice, and Accountability; Natural Resources and Conservation; and Data and Digital Technologies - as the Conference framework, over 400 international participants gathered in The Hague to present their research, showcase art, and develop the community of practitioners within this discipline.
