Course Details

Course Overview

The Climate Security & Environmental Peacebuilding Programme equips participants with the analytical, policy, and operational skills required to understand, prevent, and manage climate-related security risks while using environmental cooperation as a tool for conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

The programme recognises climate change as a threat multiplier that exacerbates resource competition, displacement, fragility, and violence, particularly in vulnerable regions.

The course integrates climate science, security analysis, governance, and peacebuilding practice.

It aligns with global and regional frameworks such as the UN Climate Security Mechanism, the UN Security Council climate–security agenda, Agenda 2063, the SDGs, AU Peace and Security Architecture (APSA), and the Sendai Framework.

Participants will gain practical experience in climate–security risk assessment, conflict-sensitive programming, environmental cooperation, and designing interventions that promote resilience, stability, and peace.
