EnPAx Launches Survey to Understand COVID-19 Impact on Environmental Peacebuilding

Jul 28, 2020 | Environmental Peacebuilding Association

The Environmental Peacebuilding Association (EnPAx) invites you to share your insights on COVID-19’s effects on environmental peacebuilding efforts via this survey.

COVID-19 has had far-reaching impacts on the field of environmental peacebuilding—from delaying or cancelling academic fieldwork to reduced contact with communities, impairing grassroots environmental peacebuilding efforts. Even several months into the pandemic, there is still much to learn about its short- and long-term implications for environmental peacebuilders globally, nationally and locally.

In order to better understand the diverse impacts of COVID-19 on the environmental peacebuilding community of practice, EnPAx is launching a survey that aims to capture input across professions, regions and thematic areas, including but not limited to gender equity, livelihoods, land rights, forests, WASH, disasters and humanitarian assistance, and climate change.

Additionally, EnPAx will use the survey results to inform its own COVID-19 efforts, including the content of its microsite, as well as identifying other resources it can develop in response to the interests and needs of the wider community of practice.

Please find the link to the survey here: https://bit.ly/2Dgx1Wc. This survey will take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete, and will run from July 28, 2020 to August 11, 2020. All information collected will be presented in summary form and no personally identifiable information will be disclosed in reporting on the results of the survey. We expect to have initial results available by the end of August.

If you have any questions or comments on the survey, or COVID-19-related ideas for EnPAx, please contact association@environmentalpeacebuilding.org.
