Our clients Somalia’s environmental peacebuilding portfolio under community stabilization programming recognizes the interlinkages between environmental sustainability, conflict prevention & peacebuilding. This lies in the understanding that environmental issues can exacerbate existing conflicts, act as potential triggers for new conflicts & cause displacement & instability. Addressing environmental challenges can promote sustainable peace by fostering cooperation, addressing root causes of conflict & promoting inclusive & equitable development. The environment is often at the center of resource based conflicts, such as competition over water, land & natural resources. Conflicts related to these resources can be detrimental to human security, exacerbate poverty & inequality & impede long term development & stability.
