Climate Security & Environmental Peacebuilding Programme
A comprehensive programme equipping participants with analytical, policy, and operational skills to manage climate-related security risks and leverage environmental cooperation for conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
Course Overview
The Climate Security & Environmental Peacebuilding Programme equips participants with the analytical, policy, and operational skills required to understand, prevent, and manage climate-related security risks while using environmental cooperation as a tool for conflict prevention and peacebuilding. The programme recognises climate change as a threat multiplier that exacerbates resource competition, displacement, fragility, and violence, particularly in vulnerable regions. The course integrates climate science, security analysis, governance, and peacebuilding practice. It aligns with global and regional frameworks such as the UN Climate Security Mechanism, the UN Security Council climate–security agenda, Agenda 2063, the SDGs, AU Peace and Security Architecture (APSA), and the Sendai Framework. Participants will gain practical experience in climate–security risk assessment, conflict-sensitive programming, environmental cooperation, and designing interventions that promote resilience, stability, and peace.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the links between climate change, environmental stress, and security risks.
- Analyse climate-related drivers of conflict, fragility, and displacement.
- Apply climate–security risk assessment and early warning tools.
- Design conflict-sensitive climate adaptation and natural resource programmes.
- Use environmental cooperation as a tool for peacebuilding and confidence-building.
- Integrate climate security into policy, planning, and peace operations.
- Strengthen coordination between climate, development, and security actors.
- Monitor, evaluate, and adapt climate security and peacebuilding interventions.
