When a country emerges from violent conflict, the management of the
environment and natural resources has important implications for
short-term peacebuilding and long-term stability, particularly if
natural resources were a factor in the conflict, play a major role
in the national economy, or broadly support livelihoods. Only
recently, however, have the assessment, harnessing, and restoration
of the natural resource base become essential components of
postconflict peacebuilding. This book, by thirty-five authors,
examines the experiences of more than twenty countries and
territories in assessing post-conflict environmental damage and
natural resource degradation and their implications for human
health, livelihoods, and security. The book also illustrates how an
understanding of both the risks and opportunities associated with
natural resources can help decision makers manage natural resources
in ways that create jobs, sustain livelihoods, and contribute to
economic recovery and reconciliation, without creating new
grievances or significant environmental degradation. Finally, the
book offers lessons from the remediation of environmental hot
spots, restoration of damaged ecosystems, and reconstruction of the
environmental services and infrastructure necessary for a
sustainable peace. Assessing and Restoring Natural Resources in
Post-Conflict Peacebuilding is part of a global initiative to
identify and analyze lessons in post-conflict peacebuilding and
natural resource management. The project has generated six books of
case studies and analyses, with contributions by practitioners,
policy makers, and researchers. Other books address highvalue
resources, land, water, livelihoods, and governance.
