Climate Crisis and Peacebuilding
The Climate Crisis and Peacebuilding (CC&PB) Working Group serves as a platform for exchange on the EU’s role in addressing the intersections of climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and security.
The Climate Crisis and Peacebuilding Working Group focuses on:
- Ensuring that EU climate action is conflict-sensitive and adequately incorporates principles of conflict prevention and peacebuilding, and promoting climate sensitivity in EU peacebuilding efforts;
- Advocating for adequate climate finance and institutional capacities to support conflict-affected regions in mitigating and adapting to climate impacts;
- Strengthening the EU’s capacity for integrated, conflict-sensitive approaches that align peacebuilding, climate action, environmental protection and green transition strategies effectively;
- Advocating for the EU to enhance the way it addresses the linkages between water resources and peace, conflict and climate dynamics, particularly in relation to mediation and issues of governance.
