EPLO Member Organisation Event – Gender-climate-conflict: Key considerations for sustainable peace

30th March 2022 @ 15:00 - 16:30 CEST

Why does gender matter when looking at climate change and conflict? Why is it so often overlooked? What can international organisations do to ensure this nexus is part of their programming?

These questions remain, especially when considering climate challenges in conflict contexts, despite, the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda clearly spelling out the important role of women and girls in conflict transformation. In addition, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 takes into account which gendered dynamics come into play in violent conflicts and why female peacebuilders are necessary to create sustainable and inclusive peace processes. There is also a growing need to better understand how climate change – from global warming, desertification and extreme weather events to rising sea levels, forest and agricultural degradation – affects security, prosperity and demography in conflict-affected and post-conflict areas. Particular attention needs to be paid to how climate change affects the ability of women and girls to participate in peace processes. By considering these topics together, our event wants to shed light on the role of gender amid climate change and conflict.

This ‘triple-nexus’ of gender, climate and conflict is often overlooked when responses to environmental challenges in conflict-affected areas are being developed. Inspired by the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day – “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow” –, Berghof Foundation is inviting a line-up of international experts to discuss how peacebuilding organisations can better address these complex challenges and how we can reach a comprehensive gender and climate sensitive approach to conflict transformation.
