Nature and peace will be in the spotlight this week in Geneva as experts from around the world gather online for the International Conference on Environmental Peacebuilding. Organised by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and the Environmental Peacebuilding Association, with the help of other organisations in Geneva, the second edition of this conference, from 1 to 4 February, will explore the links between climate change, environmental degradation, conflict and peace.

Over 350 experts from around the world, including the United States, Colombia, Kenya and Switzerland will present their latest research on issues such as fostering peace through water management, conservation in conflict ridden places, mineral extraction for the green transition and climate at the UN Security Council.
