Conflict Prevention
Environmental cooperation practices, such as transboundary nature conservation and water protection projects, can be a potent mechanism for conflict prevention, transformation, and peacebuilding. The framework of environmental peacebuilding emphasizes the criticality of long-term sustainability as a prerequisite for lasting peace, and identifies the most effective contexts for environmental cooperation efforts to contribute to conflict prevention and peacebuilding.M&E plays a pivotal role in conflict prevention efforts, enabling us to assess the effectiveness of strategies and identify areas for improvement. Through rigorous M&E, practitioners can measure progress towards conflict prevention goals, identify potential sources of conflict, and proactively prevent conflicts from escalating.
