The article "Using Land for Peace: How Sustainable Land Use Systems can foster climate action and support peacebuilding", using the example of Colombia, shows how sustainable land use systems can reduce emissions, foster livelihoods and improve the resilience of communities to climate change and illegal economies. Several ZALF scientists were involved in the project.
The paper is part of a global initiative to mainstream ecological peacebuilding in the form of a white paper with 50 contributions from 150 authors. It is intended to be a tool for raising collective awareness and influencing decision makers. The project will be presented at the International Conference on Ecological Peacebuilding in Geneva, on February 2, 2022, and at the Stockholm +50 conference in early June 2022.
