A century after independence, Afghanistan’s dream of sustainable peace remains an illusion. No invasion, occupation, or negotiation has brought peace, development, or prosperity to this country with such a rich cultural history and fierce sense of independence from outside control. Decades of international peacebuilding have failed to account for—let alone address— the persistence of deep-rooted sources of internal conflict. Planned efforts to install a liberal peace through institutions and regulations often fail to recognize persistent conflicts at the local level that should be the primary focus (Franke et al., 2021).
阿富汗独立一个世纪后,可持续和平的梦想仍然是一个幻想。任何侵略、占领或谈判都没有给这个有着如此丰富的文化历史和强烈的独立意识的国家带来和平、发展和繁荣。几十年的国际建设和平未能解释——更不用说解决了——持续存在的内部冲突的根深蒂固的根源。通过制度和法规建立自由和平的计划努力往往未能认识到地方层面的持续冲突,而这应该是主要焦点(Franke et al., 2021)。

The National Organization for Rare Disorders, or NORD V R , is a robust resource suitable for patients, families, clinicians, researchers, and advocates of those living with or impacted by rare diseases. Given that rare diseases affect around 30 million people in the United States, half of which are estimated to be children, it is vital to have access to credible and accessible information. An added bonus of NORD is their staunch advocacy platform, which brings to light other consumer health information which may otherwise be hard to find. This consumer health resource review covers the consumer- focused aspects of NORD.
国家罕见疾病组织(NORD V R)是一个强大的资源,适合患者、家庭、临床医生、研究人员以及患有罕见疾病或受罕见疾病影响的人的倡导者。鉴于罕见疾病影响到美国约3 000万人,其中一半估计是儿童,因此获得可信和可获得的信息至关重要。NORD的另一个好处是他们坚定的宣传平台,它带来了其他消费者健康信息,否则可能很难找到。本消费者健康资源综述涵盖了NORD以消费者为中心的方面。

This article considers local resilience strategies and climate disaster management response in cities, as well as their impacts in terms of climate adaptation and transformative change. It argues that the soaring use of the concept of resilience is concealing a discrepancy between the ambitions and the solutions for the implementation of better, fairer, and more trustworthy climate adaptation solutions. Cities’ stakeholders are increasingly confronted with trade-offs, while they are often ill-equipped with a lack of facilities, accessible funding, and a limited capacity to address the multiple challenges. Vulnerable populations and poorer groups remain increasingly exposed to climate disasters. The lack of clarity in land-use mechanisms, as well as the multiple obstacles to solutions for climate adaptation, is fueling social conflicts. Multi-stakeholder dialogue, cooperation, local engagement, and a renewed international attention are needed to bring about the transformative change necessary to achieve local resilience, and to generate sufficient trust in the response process to climate disasters.

Taking the view that climate justice must be a primary global objective, this briefing proposes the application of a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus. In the context of new challenges arising as a result of climate change around the world, the need for new and bridging approaches is increasingly vital. This briefing argues that advancing the so-called “third-generation solidarity rights” that already include the rights to peace, development, humanitarian assistance, and a healthy environment (Minnerop et al., 2018) can serve the evolution of such an approach. Around for several decades already, solidarity rights speak to the collective objectives and rights of communities and peoples (Farooq, 1983). Solidarity rights are especially emphasized by Global South advocates for international equality between states, intent on addressing inter-state injustices and global inequality that heightens the risks of conflicts and widens poverty.

As climate change increasingly affects the world, much is said about the rising amounts of aid required to support emergency response, long-term development to adapt, and peacebuilding to ensure that conflict does not undermine these efforts. Bringing these ideas together, some advocate for the addition of a separate climate change stream into the humanitarian, development, and peace/peacebuilding nexus (or triple nexus). Based on a critical literature review and synthesis, this article articulates and conceptualizes how climate change perspectives and actions should be integrated into the existing streams of the humanitarian, development, and peace/peacebuilding nexus, rather than being added as a separate stream. The analysis shows the risks of adding climate change as a stand-alone stream and advocates for developing long-term strategies that integrate climate change actions into humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding efforts to better serve all three.

Climate disasters affect human security and development, moreso in fragile and conflict-affected contexts where population’ capacities to cope with climate change are compromised. Responses to such crises lie at the nexus of humanitarian assistance, development, and peacebuilding. Yet, there are still too few integrated programmatic responses coordinating peacebuilding and climate actions to ensure a progressive human development. This research develops a multi-scalar model to help actors identify thematic areas to inform synergistic efforts and programs at different scales to better coordinate their actions. Findings suggest that climate action and peacebuilding sectors can coordinate actions around climate and conflict risk assessments, the management of land and water resources, ecosystem restoration, nature-based climate adaptation, climate and conflict smart agriculture, natural resources governance, and sustainable market development. These collaborative efforts have the potential to generate co-benefits, such as increased social cohesion and livelihood creation.

Often compounding each other, current trends including climate change, environmental degradation, and increased consumption associated with unsustainable development and population growth, present serious threats to human security at global, national, and local levels. These trends are destabilizing economies, negating development gains, exacerbating gender-based violence against women and girls, and undermining global peace and security. This situation is particularly pronounced in countries like South Sudan where women and girls have often borne the brunt of multiple shocks and stresses. South Sudanese women are nevertheless engaging in diverse initiatives to promote peace, development, and more equitable environmental governance. This paper examines the circumstances that facilitate women’s meaningful participation in peacebuilding, post-conflict recovery, and climate change adaptation. Findings from an analysis of three local organizations underscore the significance of adopting a gender-transformative, intersectional approach to peacebuilding, humanitarian response, and development efforts, especially in contexts impacted by the adverse effects of climate change.

Research suggests that International Organizations (IOs) are getting more involved in efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate-related security risks in different parts of the world. However, there is still a limited understanding of how discourse and action on climate security develop and diffuse in and across different institutional settings in various policy fields and geographical contexts. This article aims to contribute to advancing the research agenda by outlining an analytical framework that helps structure comparison across IOs along three key dimensions: (a) discursive framing; (b) institutional design; and (c) policy actions. To illustrate how the framework can be used in empirical analyses the article discusses findings from previous research. This is not only relevant to highlight the framework’s analytical usefulness as it also shows the relevance of these research findings for practitioners and decision-makers engaged in efforts to enhance the role of IOs in global governance of climate security—and across the humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus.

The Northern Ireland peace process has been long and tumultuous, yet 20 years after the Good Friday Agreement, peace has not become a reality for many Northern Irish citizens. For those who have been excluded from the state and the institution-led peace process, grassroots methods of peacebuilding are needed to create an everyday peace that is owned by and includes all Northern Irish citizens. A narrative approach to peacebuilding is one that addresses many of the challenges to everyday peace following the “Troubles.” By exploring the use and impact of storytelling and narrative on everyday experiences, the narrative approach proves to be a viable tool for elevating and giving ownership of the peace process to marginalized members of Northern Irish society.
