Alarming reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) make it clear that climate action cannot wait. Scientists predict that climate change could push up to 132 million people into extreme poverty within 10 years, and by 2050 climate-related displacement could affect 31–143 million people across Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia (IPCC, 2022). Women and other marginalized groups on the frontlines of the climate crisis face disproportionate impacts and increased exposure to climate-driven insecurity. The implications for thehumanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus are severe. This briefing argues that the only way to effectively address the overlapping challenges of climate change, gender inequality, conflict, and humanitarian emergencies is through holistic solutions. Research shows that climate change can inflame conflict dynamics by aggravating underlying tensions, such as weak social cohesion and political instability, in addition to depleting natural resources (Rüttinger et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2021). When conflict, humanitarian emergencies, and fragility overlap with climate change, risks multiply, and the adaptive capacity of states and communities diminishes. This dynamic can translate to countries and communities being less able to absorb and cope with climate shocks.
政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)发布的令人震惊的报告明确指出，气候行动刻不容缓。科学家预测，气候变化可能会在10年内使多达1.32亿人陷入极端贫困，到2050年，气候相关的流离失所可能会影响拉丁美洲、撒哈拉以南非洲和南亚的31.43亿人(IPCC, 2022)。处于气候危机前线的妇女和其他边缘群体面临着不成比例的影响，并日益暴露于气候导致的不安全之中。这对人道主义-发展-和平(HDP)关系的影响是严重的。本简报认为，有效应对气候变化、性别不平等、冲突和人道主义紧急情况等重叠挑战的唯一途径是通过整体解决方案。研究表明，除了消耗自然资源外，气候变化还可以通过加剧潜在的紧张局势(如社会凝聚力薄弱和政治不稳定)来加剧冲突动态(r ttinger et al.， 2015;Smith et al.， 2021)。当冲突、人道主义紧急情况和脆弱性与气候变化重叠时，风险就会成倍增加，国家和社区的适应能力就会减弱。这种动态可能导致国家和社区吸收和应对气候冲击的能力下降。

Over the last decade, the annual Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development has grown into one of the key venues for discussions between policy makers, researchers, and practitioners from the Global North and South about the nexus between peace, security, and development. This discussion space, outside of formal institutional contexts, has brought forward innovative policy responses to protracted problems and contributed to policy processes. Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the UN Conference on the Human Environment and at the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the 2022 Stockholm Forum focused on the issue of how to secure peace in a time of environmental crisis.

In recent years, the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS) and its members have observed the multifaceted and intersectional impacts of climate change, both on the macro-level and in the direct effects on their own work in the fields of peacebuilding and conflict prevention, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable development. Increasing attention is being placed on the interrelationships between climate change and the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP)-nexus by academics, policymakers, and practitioners alike, exploring the intersections and interlinkages between them and aiming to formulate solutions to the challenges these poses.

Even after gaining independence, South Sudan has experienced repeated outbreaks of conflict. Under these circumstances, national sports events have been held under the theme of “Peace and Social Cohesion.” This paper aims to verify the role that national sporting events play in promoting social capital among the athletes who participated in the event. The finding of the paper shows that by creating a safe space for peaceful coexistence during the sporting event, athletes were able to overcome their anxiety toward other ethnic groups, and through their interactions with other athletes, develop mutual respect and friendships. This, in turn, led to a reduction of their prejudice toward other ethnic groups and to greater trust and networks among athletes. As the paper suggests, sports events may help to promote social capital for ethnic reconciliation by providing a safe space for peaceful coexistence in South Sudan.

An estimated 745,000 Rohingyas were forced to flee to Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, after a deadly crackdown in Rakhine state, Myanmar in August 2017. Responding to this crisis, the Bangladesh government launched the relocation of Rohingyas from the dense camps in Cox's Bazar to Bhasan Char island in the Bay of Bengal in December 2020. This article argues that the refugees’ perceptions of their idealized “home”—their place of belonging—composed of complex needs with security tied to environmental stability, have not adequately been considered in their relocation to Bhasan Char island. Further, the physical threats of climate change on the island combine with a denial of the spatial and cultural dimensions of home, creating the threat of Rohingyas becoming “recycled refugees.” The findings are based on qualitative case study research conducted with Rohingya refugees residing in Cox's Bazar and with those recently relocated to Bhasan Char.

Climate change has catalyzed human suffering in recent times, extending to both the Global North and South. Heat waves in Europe as well as floods and droughts in Africa and Asia have left thousands of casualties. This state of affairs is expected to worsen as the world approaches its greenhouse gases budget cap. Climate change has served as a conflict multiplier, as people fight over resources and land. This is especially the case in underdeveloped countries such as Afghanistan, where most of the population resides in rural areas and regularly faces water shortages. The geographical nature of Afghanistan coupled with its population’s dependency on agriculture, renders the nation particularly vulnerable to the implications of climate change. A landlocked mountainous country, Afghanistan has had to deal with droughts, storms, floods, landslides, avalanches, and earthquakes as well as record increases in temperature (Omerkhil et al., 2019).

When countries emerge from a civil war, accountability and compensation for harms done are crucial for peacebuilding. However, post-civil war governments face uncertain political contexts, delegation problems, difficulties building trust among former combatants, deficits of central administrative capacity, and incentives to reward supporters. Given these challenges, they are unlikely to be able to fairly distribute financial compensation. In Nepal, the awarding of internationally funded compensation for conflict-related losses provides a very tangible test regarding whether factional opportunism or broader public interest considerations guide post-conflict allocations. We hypothesize that without effective institutions, compensation will be skewed in favour of those in power and not proportional to harms suffered. Using individual-level data, we analyse who benefited from the post-conflict settlement, showing those killed by Maoist perpetrators, those sympathetic to the state and members of the state armed forces were more likely to be compensated, a biased, hence unfavourable, outcome for peacebuilding.

The Peace Council of Ghana ranks farmer–herder conflicts among the country’s three most significant threats to peace (Parker-Wilson, 2021). In Ghana, herders are widely referred to as “Fulani,” making the term synonymous with cattle rearing. Initially, the term referred to a predominantly nomad group called the Peul or the Fulbe. These nomads were typically based in pockets of settlements from Lake Chad to the east of the Atlantic Coast. In the early 20th century, British colonialists sought to establish a vibrant cattle industry in Ghana to counter the French monopoly over meat exports to Europe. Since most Ghanaians at the time were engaged in farming or mining, the British outsourced the establishment of the large-scale cattle business to foreigners known as the Fulani. Tonah (2006) suggested that this thriving cattle business attracted other Fulanis to Ghana in the early 20th century.

Women combatants of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) participated in the Colombian peace process at different stages, at the negotiation table, at the signing of the agreement, and in the implementation of the accords. However, the process of reincorporation into civil society also produces new roles that do not appear in the Peace Agreement. Once they lay down their arms, FARC-EP women want to enjoy all human rights and expand their freedoms. But the societies that receive them have structural flaws in the way they are treated. They are acquiring, adapting, or resisting gender regulations, not widely available in the armed group. Based on qualitative fieldwork, this research aims to expose functionings and real capabilities, in the light of dimensions of reincorporation. Further evaluations of achievements and limitations suggest that female FARC-EP ex-combatants face greater barriers, burdens, and gaps than their male counterparts. These refer to unpaid domestic and care work, and gender-based violence and discrimination.

The everyday peacebuilding framework involves shared offstage narratives, social practices and the often taken for granted interactions which are based on the constructed reality of a specific local group of people. Although these informal social processes remain subjective, undocumented and limited to specific geographical locations, they shape peacebuilding efforts of local people at community levels. In ward 8 of Seke district, Zimbabwe, the everyday social practices culminated into the establishment of a 15-member ward peace committee (WPC) without the involvement of an external agent. These offstage social processes demonstrate resilience, local agency and resistance to elitist approaches to peacebuilding as well as insulation by local people against practices considered as subversive to local peace aspirations.
