The+Impact+of+Climate+Change+on+Violent+Conflicts


 * Workshop Description**

Climate change is expected to increase conflicts and outbreaks of violence over the coming decades, particularly in the global south. Military strategists are increasingly looking at climate change as a driver of conflict and violence. What should peacebuilders be considering as they work to address conflicts and contribute to preventing, reducing and stopping violence in response to climate change?

 John Siebert is the Executive Director of Project Ploughshares, the peace research centre of the Canadian Council of Churches. Project Ploughshares’ work includes research and policy development on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, the control and reduction of conventional weapons, peacebuilding with partners in the Horn of Africa and the Caribbean, and critical evaluation of Canada’s foreign and defense policy from a human security framework.
