520 | |a 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 it is 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. | ||
