Formal and informal pathways to resilient environmental water cooperation: Addressing the politics to get to peaceLed by the Geneva Water HubEnvironmental factors alone are rarely the cause of conflicts. Related factors such as food shortage, lack of access to water and loss of livelihoods connected to environmental degradation, however, often emerge as conflict drivers. The interplay and relationship between politics, law and technical issues on environmental and water cooperation is as relevant between states as it is at the local level or in intersections with non-state actors. This interplay is important to understand to be able to find solutions to adaptation and mitigation of climate change in conflict affected areas. The frameworks and mechanisms of governance that underpin water cooperation in conflict contexts should address the politics as well as technical issues. Yet, a number of apolitical interventions, such as primarily technical coordination over shared natural resources in conflict settings, have been advanced toward peacebuilding aims only to fall short. The webinar draws on different legal and technical tools used to address the politics in environmental cooperation in conflict contexts toward resilient peacebuilding, and possibly in climate change adaptation and mitigation. This webinar is an installment in the series, The Peace Piece: Primers for Peace at COP28, an online briefing series designed to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about opportunities for peace at COP28.
