Navigating the Complexity Across the Peace-Sustainability-Climate Security Nexus

Beschreibung

Promoting peace and sustainability in human development while accounting for the risks associated with the impact of climate change on society has become more imperative than ever when addressing humanity's challenges of the twenty-first century. There is enough evidence that peace, sustainability, and climate security are entangled with multiple complex interactions and cannot be dealt with in isolation and independently from the environment and the numerous systems with which they interact. Yet, the intersection of peace, sustainability, and climate security or their opposites (i.e., conflict, unsustainability, and climate vulnerability) is rarely articulated with a systemic mindset. A multi-solving nexus approach is more appropriate to capture the complexity and uncertainty of how the three sectors of peace, sustainability, and climate security play a role in community development, the nature of their causal chains, and the feedback on how community development affects thethree sectors. Navigating the Complexity Across the Peace-Sustainability-Climate Security Nexus explores the value proposition of using a systems approach, methodology, and tools to comprehend and model that dynamic.

Features of the book:
Explores the interaction between the different components of peace and the relationship between peace, sustainability, and climate security using semi-qualitative and quantitative toolsExplains how climate adaptation and mitigation are related to peace or conflictPresents generic system dynamics modeling that can be used in different contexts
