Environmental Peacebuilding

UN Environment

Environmental challenges drive and exacerbate conflict around the world. This project sought to identify key environment security challenges in eight countries and regions; Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, the Lake Chad Region, Syria, Iraq, Israel-Palestine, and Yemen. It focused on environmental drivers of conflict, and identifying entry points for UN Environment to undertake environmental peacebuilding activities.
