A New Climate for Peace: Taking Action on Climate and Fragility Risks

Summary

“A New Climate for Peace: Taking Action on Climate and Fragility Risks”, an independent report commissioned by members of the G7, identifies seven compound climate-fragility risks that pose serious threats to the stability of states and societies in the decades ahead. Based on a thorough assessment of existing policies on climate change adaptation, development cooperation and humanitarian aid, and peace building, the report recommends that the G7 take concrete action, both as individual members and jointly, to tackle climate-fragility risks and increase the resilience of states and societies to them.

Includes a discussion of safeguards under REDD+ in the section: 'Forest management through REDD+ initiatives requires conflict-sensitive implementation to avoid negative impacts'.
