(talking peace on Violent Environments and Infrastructures, dialogue #1)

Click HERE to register. This online dialogue is the first in a series jointly organised by bicc, RPTU and UNU-EHS. The series examines how large-scale land-use changes—associated with development corridors, extractive industries, conservation initiatives, as well as climate adaptation projects—profoundly reshape the social and political orders in which they unfold. It explores how these changes shape conflict and possibly contribute to peace. For information about the whole series taking place between November 2026 and May 2027, go here. Dialogue #1: Energy, Conservation and Climate Adaptation Projects: Infrastructures for Peace or Conflict Drivers? Wind and oil energy projects, wildlife conservation efforts and climate adaptation projects are very different. However, the infrastructures that come with these projects also have some aspects in common. They can either contribute to cooperation and peace or aggravate conflict or both at the same time. Drawing on cases from Kenya and Botswana, the talk shows how some of these peace and conflict pathways develop.
