Guidelines for conflict-sensitive adaptation to climate change | Umweltbundesamt

This guide outlines how to design and implement climate change adaptation projects in a fragile or conflict-affected context. It addresses planners and project managers and provides tools and methods to ensure that an adaptation project does not exacerbate tensions and, ideally, contributes to peace and stability. In three chapters, the guide provides a conceptual framework on conflict sensitivity and the relevance of climate change adaptation processes, a modular step-by-step guideline on how to integrate conflict sensitivity in an adaptation project, and an annex with supplementary information and tools to support the practical implementation of the guidelines.
