"The environment and natural resources are crucial in consolidating peace within and between war-torn societies... Protecting the environment can help countries create employment opportunities, promote development and avoid a relapse into armed conflict."
—United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
The Environmental Law Institute (ELI), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), University of Tokyo, and Specialist Group on Armed Conflict and the Environment of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN’s) Commission on Environmental Law are developing an edited volume that identifies lessons learned in managing natural resources to facilitate the transition to peace. The edited volume will seek to inform the work of the newly established UN Peacebuilding Commission, as well as other institutions working in this field.
This project highlights both successful and problematic examples, contrasts the approaches and contexts of the various experiences, identifies lessons learned across experiences, and develops a roadmap for next steps in strengthening post-conflict natural resource management. Some case studies focus on particular issues (e.g., land reform or delivery of water services) in a specific post-conflict context, while other case studies examine the management of natural resources more broadly following a particular conflict. In addition, the volume includes chapters that examine cross-cutting themes, such as the role of natural resources in peace agreements, land tenure, water, and governance. Steering Committee members who are coordinating the process are Carl Bruch, David Jensen, Mikiyasu Nakayama, and Jon Unruh.
