Produktbeschreibung
This book examines civil society's peacebuilding role in sub-Saharan Africa in the context

of climate change and the pursuit of environmental peace and justice in the Anthropocene.

Five main research themes emerge from its 20 chapters:

· The roles of environmental peacemaking, environmental justice, ecological

education and eco-ethics in helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change

· Peacebuilding by CSOs after violent conflicts, with particular reference to
accountability, reconciliation and healing

· CSO involvement in democratic processes and political transition after violent

conflicts

· Relationships between local CSOs and their foreign funders and the interactions

between CSOs and the African Union's peace and security architecture.

· The particular role of faith-based CSOs

The book underlines the centrality of dialogue to African peacebuilding and the indigenous
wisdom and philosophies on which itis based. Such wisdom will be a key resource in

confronting the existential challenges of the Anthropocene.

The book will be a significant resource for researchers, academics and policymakers

concerned with the challenge of climate change, its interactions with armed conflict and the

peacebuilding role of CSOs.

· This pathbreaking book shows why peacebuilding analysis and efforts need to be

urgently re-oriented towards the existential challenges of environmental peace and

justice.

· It explains the emerging conceptual frameworks which are needed for this new role.

· It explains the critical role that CSOs - local and international - will play in

implementing this new peacebuilding approach, with particular reference to sub-

Saharan Africa.
