The Implications of Climate Change for Mediation and Peace Processes
Climate change effects are felt in every corner of the world and can affect conflicts in different ways. They can be a source of conflict, a multiplier of existing risks, or an opportunity for manipulation by conflict parties.

It explores the opportunities and challenges of incorporating climate change considerations into peace processes and presents concrete measures to be taken.
