Facilitating region-specific approaches to addressing climate and environment-related risks for peace and security

About this project

<p>This action aims to support fragile and crisis-affected regions, countries and communities to achieve resilience and sustain peace by addressing the climate and environmental risks that drive conflict and instability.</p><p>It aims to complement the global partnership with UNEP (AAP 2021), which will play a key role in leveraging joint analysis, institutional and systems capacity, and established EU-UN partnerships at the headquarters and field level. The action will build on the lessons learned from the pilot phase of the EU-UN programme (2017-2022) while also facilitating region-specific approaches.</p><p>At national and local level, complementary support via sub-granting through this action will allow for wider engagement in regions which are not covered by the partnership programme and which currently receive less attention in the field of climate and security and environmental degradation as the two phenomena are inextricably linked. This will encourage a stronger focus on prevention and contribute to a stronger body of evidence in this regard.</p><p>This action will enable the EU to reach local communities through a dedicated sub-granting mechanism, to equip final beneficiaries with tools and support to design policies, plans and consensus-building dialogue processes that address emerging environment-related risks to peace and security at the local level.</p>
