Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify which components of peace are most associated with environmental sustainability. Drawing on the Global Peace Index, Positive Peace Index, and Environmental Performance Index, our study shows that environmental performance (especially regarding air quality, safe sanitation, and safe drinking water) is more closely associated with positive peace (particularly concerning equitable distribution of resources and high levels of human capital) than negative peace (specifically with the degree of militarisation). Our integrative analysis of the indicators also reveals that some low-income countries score high in both negative peace and environmental sustainability, but they often fall short in achieving positive peace outcomes. Therefore, we conclude that positive peace is more conducive to accommodating environmental considerations and the plurality of conditions on which countries achieve and maintain peace and sustainability, which supports the need to integrate environmental indicators in peace indices.

和平与环境可持续性之间相互作用的全球分析

这项研究的目的是确定和平的哪些组成部分与环境可持续性最相关。根据全球和平指数、积极和平指数和环境绩效指数，我们的研究表明，环境绩效(特别是关于空气质量、安全卫生和安全饮用水)与积极和平(特别是关于资源的公平分配和高水平的人力资本)比消极和平(特别是与军事化程度)更密切相关。我们对这些指标的综合分析还显示，一些低收入国家在消极和平和环境可持续性方面得分很高，但在实现积极和平成果方面往往表现不佳。因此，我们得出结论，积极和平更有利于适应环境因素以及各国实现和维持和平与可持续性的多种条件，这支持了将环境指标纳入和平指数的必要性。
