Building Conflict-Sensitive Organizations: A Peer-Support Space for Environmental Peacebuilding Practitioners

Date & Time
Jun 16, 2026 | 13.30 - 15.00

Location
CRX 230

Participants
Chairs: Héloïse Heyer, PeaceNexus Foundation (Switzerland)
Janet Edmond, Conservation International (United States)
With representatives from the African Wildlife Foundation, Global Green Growth Institute (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, global), Global Youth Biodiversity Network, and WWF (Colombia, Myanmar, global)

In this proposed workshop, the PeaceNexus Foundation proposes to team up with its long-term conflict sensitivity partners that would be present at the conference to facilitate an exchange on what conflict sensitivity organisational integration entails, and how it can support environmental peacebuilding. Partners include Oxfam, IOM, WWF, AWF, CI, GYBN, GGGI and others. Each would present snippets of their own organisational change processes with regard to conflict and peace, and share about how conflict sensitivity has helped create a connection to exchange across sectors. Participants would then be invited to support each other in conducting a snapshot analysis of their own organisations and possible entry points to advance conflict sensitivity and capacities to engage in environmental peacebuilding in line with their core primary mission.
