In recent years, rapid growth in practice and scholarship at the intersection of environment, conflict, and peace has given rise to the new field of environmental peacebuilding (Ide etal., 2021). Much of the work and research has focused on the environmental dimensions of conflict, peace, and peacebuilding. At the same time, interest has grown in the conflict, peace, and peacebuilding dimensions of environmental programming, often in the rubric of conflict-sensitive conservation (e.g., Hammill etal., 2009; Nadiruzzaman etal., 2022; Woomer, 2018).To date, however, most of the literature on conflict-sensitive conservation has been qualitative, anecdotal, and prescriptive.This book breaks new ground on conflict-sensitive conservation, presenting both quantitative and qualitative evidence from a recent independent evaluation of interventions1 supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in fragile and conflict-affected states (GEF Independent Evaluation Office [IEO], 2020). This evi-dence—gathered through the analysis of thousands of GEF-supported projects—highlights the importance for conservation organizations and funders, considering the fragile and conflict-affected context in which they often operate and the risks to project success when they ignore that context.As a leading funder globally of environmental programming, the GEF has supported more than 4,000 projects around the world, including in many con-flict-affected and fragile situations. Moreover, given the longevity of GEF pro-gramming (more than 25years) and the quality of data around GEF programming, the GEF provides an ideal opportunity to consider the effects of conflict and fra-gility on conservation outcomes and evaluate approaches to conflict-sensitive conservation.The evaluation underpinning this book assessed GEF projects and programs in fragile and conflict-affected situations to determine whether and how GEF-funded interventions are conflict sensitive and the implications thereof.This book introduces two new typologies drawn directly from the analysis of GEF-supported interventions. First, the book presents a typology of the ways by which fragility and conflict affect GEF-supported conservation projects. Analy-sis of the broader literature highlights, however, that this typology is relevant far beyond the GEF context. Second, the book presents a typology of conflict-sensitive approaches. Again, this typology grew organically out of the collection of pproaches adopted by GEF-supported interventions, but it reflects approaches in the broader literature on conflict-sensitive conservation programming. This chapter provides a quick review of the linkages between environment, con-flict, and peace. It then considers how environmental interventions can interact with conflict and fragility and briefly surveys the rise and evolution of conflict-sensitive conservation initiatives. It considers the broader policy context in which conflict-sensitive conservation has evolved, with a focus on multilateral environ-mental agreements and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The chapter briefly discusses developments in evaluating efforts at the intersection of environ-ment, conflict, and peace and concludes with a road map to the book.Regarding the terminology used in this book, policies, guidance, and analyses on conflict-sensitive programming variously address “conflict-affected,” “fragile,” and “violent” “situations” and “countries.” Conflict-affected and fragile situations have many dimensions, with a diverse range of articulations related to conflict and fragility.
