COP 28 Side Event | A Strategic Imperative: Advancing climate-sensitive peacebuilding
Many of the world’s most fragile and conflict-affected countries are in regions most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This event will examine opportunities for aligning peacebuilding and adaptation objectives, highlighting perspectives from countries and development agencies, like the United States Agency for International Development, who are confronting these twin challenges on the ground. Discussions will focus on moving beyond rhetoric, speaking to the practicalities of integrating conflict sensitivity and peacebuilding into adaptation efforts.
