Environmental Peacebuilding

This course focuses on the connections between environment, climate change, peace, and conflict. It is designed to give participants the practical tools and knowledge to understand how environmental issues influence conflicts. Further, we will explore local situations and solutions that could be integrated into the peacebuilding work.
Participants will discuss key topics such as climate-induced migration, environmental justice, and the role of environmental defenders. The training will provide practical approaches to conflict analysis with an environmental focus and real-life examples from professionals working on gender, peace, and climate issues.
