Launch of EnPAx Urban Interest Group

Aug 19, 2025
Environmental Peacebuilding Association

The Environmental Peacebuilding Association® (EnPAx®) is excited to announce the launch of a new Urban Interest Group. The Interest Group brings together scholars and practitioners who work at—and seek to explore further—the intersection of peacebuilding’s urban and environmental dimensions. Building on existing research and practice, the Urban IG constitutes a forum for exchange and making those links more explicit through research, peer-learning, and policy development. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to, city diplomacy; urban climate action and resilience; urban energy production; urban violence, conflict, and alternative dispute resolution institutions; environmental remediation and repair; urban agriculture and food; slow violence and urban justice; and infrastructure (e.g., transportation, WASH). More information on the Urban Interest Group is available here. Membership in the Interest Group is open to all EnPAx members.  If you are interested in joining the Interest Group, please email membership@environmentalpeacebuilding.org.
