Summary |
The environmental crisis is increasing risks to security and peace worldwide, notably in countries that are already fragile. This report surveys the evolving risk landscape and documents a number of developments that indicate a pathway to solutions--in international law and policy, in peacekeeping operations and among non-governmental organizations. It finds that two principal avenues need to be developed: (a) combining peacebuilding and environmental restoration, and (b) effectively addressing the underlying environmental issues. It also analyses the potential of existing and emerging pro-environment measures for exacerbating risks to peace and security. The findings demonstrate that only just and peaceful transitions to more sustainable practices can be effective--and show that these transitions also need to be rapid |
