This editorial introduces the special feature’s main objective: to provide latest research findings on the dynamics between environmental protection and post-conflict peacebuilding processes after internal armed conflicts. In the feature, we propose a broad understanding of environmental peacebuilding that takes all cycles of the peacebuilding process into account and puts stronger emphasis on the long-term social and environmental impacts. Based on this conceptualization, the contributions to this special feature analyze a series of environmental, social, political, and economic dimensions of post-conflict environmental peacebuilding processes in a diversity of geographical contexts.
