Peace interventions and climate adaptation are rarely jointly integrated in adaptation efforts. Social and environmental safeguards are critical to make sure that climate action and agricultural interventions at least ‘do no harm’, and possibly undertake ‘do good’ approaches.
The programming toolkit is designed to bridge this gap through the integration of conflict-sensitivity in climate action programs. The toolkit is composed of two interlinked products, which together form a safeguard approach for climate action programs: the Climate Security Proofing Guidelines (CSPG) and the Climate Security Sensitivity Tool (CSST).
This toolkit targets practitioners, decision makers and multilateral institutes interested in diagnostic research for peace responsive climate action in the context of agriculture and rural development. Its goal is to link climate adaptation and peacebuilding through ex ante evaluating whether climate action programs and their implementation modalities are appropriate for the context in which they are carried out, and to recommend strategies to strengthen their suitability.
