There is a growing body of research on the relationship between climate change and  peace and security. Research shows that the effects of climate change can exacerbate  existing vulnerabilities, such as food and water security, and in combination with other  factors can also increase the risk of violent conflict. It is increasingly recognized that  actions taken to prevent and manage conflict can be coordinated and integrated  with actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Such cross-disciplinary  cooperation can generate outcomes that are beneficial for both a sustainable peace  and environment. The COP27 Presidency initiative titled “Climate Responses for  Sustaining Peace” (CRSP), has taken a leading role in this movement by spearheading  a discursive pivot from a climate security nexus towards a climate and peacebuilding  nexus, with multifaceted and holistic approaches.
