Environment as a Pathway to Cooperation, Peace, and Confidence

IHDP interviews ECSP Director Geoffrey Dabelko

Geoffrey Dabelko, member of IHDP's Scientific Committee, tells IHDP Update that "it is critical for the environment and security field to offer an action agenda instead of reactive bickering over narrow causes of conflict...That notion of focusing just on environment as a cause of conflict rather than understanding the cooperative properties around the environment have meant that in both the research and the policy worlds we have missed opportunities to understand and operationalize environment's confidence-building and peace-making possibilities."
