Sustainable development and environmental peacebuilding

Onita Das

Chapter 2 in Research Handbook on International Law and Environmental Peacebuilding, 2023, pp 17-41 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In the face of various post-conflict challenges and conflicting priorities, it is tempting in the short term to dismiss environmental issues or setting them aside for later. However, taking this stance is short sighted as bringing in natural resource management and environmental issues from the start of the peacebuilding process is crucial to not only prevent potential conflict relapse but to sow the seeds of sustainable peace and development. This chapter therefore considers sustainable development and its principles (sustainable use, cooperation, participation, good governance, integration) as policy and legal guiding tools to integrate natural resource management and environmental protection into the environmental peacebuilding process in order to achieve a durable peace.
