17 June 2014, Khartoum, Sudan – UNEP releases third report in an environmental governance series that looks at supporting peacebuilding relating to natural resources in Sudan.

Drawing on practical experience in Sudan from the work of UNEP and others, the new report ‘Relationships and Resources: Environmental governance for peacebuilding and resilient livelihoods in Sudan’ aims to support places such as Darfur to reduce conflict and improve resource governance where disputed control of natural resources has played a role. It also offers new insights on how to mitigate the risk of conflict in areas that are currently at peace, but have tensions relating to competition for natural resources.
