Data and Technologies
Big data and frontier technologies can play a critical role in supporting collective action and facilitating transparent communication across different scales. This can help to ensure that local knowledge and needs are integrated into larger datasets, enabling more effective recovery from environmental stress and violent conflict. As such, the integration of M&E frameworks into environmental peacebuilding efforts is crucial to achieving long-term sustainable peace and protecting the environment.By gathering and analyzing large amounts of data on environmental conditions, conflict dynamics, and peacebuilding efforts, practitioners can better understand the complex relationships between these factors. The use of technologies such as GIS, artificial intelligence, and blockchain can enhance decision-making processes in real-time and support the development of data-driven policies and strategies for peace agreements. Additionally, these technologies can help build datasets for future study, enabling more effective M&E of environmental peacebuilding interventions.
