When it comes to conflicts in the climate crisis, it is sometimes enough to look to the neighboring lignite mining region. At the same time, we can learn from resistance movements in the global South how environmental peacebuilding can succeed from below. Rebecca Froese and Janpeter Schilling shed light on these two very different conflict contexts in the recently published issue of the journal Wissenschaft und Frieden, which focuses on the climate crisis. In the first article, the two present their research findings on environmental peacebuilding and gold mining in Bolivia together with colleagues from the FU Berlin and the University of Greifswald. In the second article, Froese and Schilling, together with a colleague from the University of Hamburg, look at various forms of climate protests and their role in conflicts over socio-ecological transformation. The articles are available here.
