Building Climate, Peace, and Security Synergies for a Sustainable Future
We work to advance the climate, peace, and security agenda by promoting environmental sustainability, conflict prevention, and inclusive peacebuilding. Our initiatives connect climate action with human security, youth participation, and disarmament, building bridges between ecological resilience and sustainable peace.
We envision a world where climate action becomes a peace strategy—where environmental cooperation, just transitions, and youth leadership drive resilience and equity. Through advocacy, education, and innovation, we push for integrated responses that address both climate and security challenges.
Initiatives
1. Policy Advocacy
We advocate for policies that recognize the interconnectedness of climate change, security, and peacebuilding, ensuring that environmental degradation and resource scarcity are addressed as part of global peace efforts.
Climate–Security Nexus: We promote UN and regional frameworks that integrate climate risks into peace and security policies, peacekeeping mandates, and development programs.
Youth, Peace, and Climate Action: We empower young people to engage in environmental governance, linking the Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda with climate action.
Gender and Climate Justice: We advance the participation of women in climate-related peace processes, ensuring that solutions are equitable and inclusive.
Just Transition: We support policy reforms for fair transitions in post-conflict and high-risk areas, connecting livelihoods, green energy, and peacebuilding.
👉 Our goal: A global commitment to include climate–security strategies in all UN peace operations and national climate action plans by 2030.
2. Public Awareness and Education
We foster understanding and action around the relationship between environmental degradation and conflict through educational programs, campaigns, and youth-led dialogues.
Climate Peace Dialogues: Interactive forums bringing youth, experts, and policymakers together to discuss how climate adaptation can strengthen peace and prevent conflict.
#GreenPeacebuilders Campaign: Our global awareness initiative showcasing how communities are turning environmental action into peacebuilding.
Workshops and Trainings: We equip civil society, local leaders, and institutions with tools to design integrated climate–security interventions.
3. Research and Data for Peace
We generate and share evidence to inform policies that bridge climate resilience and peacebuilding efforts.
Risk Analysis: Mapping hotspots where environmental stress fuels instability, displacement, or violence.
Policy Briefs: Publishing accessible, data-driven insights to support policymakers and multilateral actors.
Partnerships: Collaborating with research networks and UN agencies to strengthen the global knowledge base on climate and security.
4. Community Engagement and Field Action
We work directly with communities on the frontlines of climate change and insecurity, supporting resilience, adaptation, and inclusion.
Local Peace Labs: Participatory projects where communities design environmental peacebuilding solutions tailored to their territories.
Youth Climate Mediators: Training young leaders to facilitate dialogue around resource management and ecological restoration.
Eco-Security Hubs: Local centers promoting sustainable livelihoods, conflict-sensitive climate adaptation, and inclusive governance.
5. Global Collaboration and UN Engagement
We engage actively in the United Nations and global processes to ensure that climate–security interlinkages remain high on the international agenda.
United Nations Forums: We contribute to the UN Climate Change Conferences (COP), the Peacebuilding Commission, and debates at the Security Council on climate and security.
Regional Partnerships: Working with organizations across Latin America, Africa, and Europe to strengthen resilience and cooperation across borders.
Peace & Climate Action at the UN:
Ágora has participated in consultations feeding into the UN’s “Climate, Peace, and Security Mechanism,” advocating for stronger integration of environmental and peacebuilding work in multilateral systems.
