Welcome to Environmental Peacebuilding Knowledge Platform

This site serves both as the home page for the Environmental Peacebuilding Association® (also known as EnPAx™), and as a repository for a wide range of information on environmental peacebuilding.

Environmental peacebuilding integrates natural resource management in conflict prevention, mitigation, resolution, and recovery to build resilience in communities affected by conflict. Join our growing global community of researchers, practitioners, and decision makers in sharing experiences and lessons from managing natural resources in conflict-affected settings, accessing new research on the topic, and participating in events to support the growing network of professionals active in environmental peacebuilding.
