@Taheri_Movement The environment is war’s silent victim;
Without protecting the resources that our lives and livelihoods depend on, achieving true peace is impossible.

Water wells have been polluted, crops torched, forests cut down, soils poisoned, and animals killed to gain military advantage.

Though humanity has always counted its war casualties in terms of dead and wounded soldiers and civilians, destroyed cities and livelihoods, the environment has often remained the unpublicized victim of #war. Water wells have been polluted, crops torched, forests cut down, soils poisoned, and animals killed to gain military advantage.
Furthermore, the United Nations Environment Programme (@UNEP) has found that over the last 60 years, at least 40 percent of all internal conflicts have been linked to the exploitation of natural resources, whether high-value resources such as timber, diamonds, gold and oil, or scarce resources such as fertile land and water. Conflicts involving natural resources have also been found to be twice as likely to relapse.
The @UN attaches great importance to ensuring that action on the environment is part of conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding strategies, because there can be no durable peace if the natural resources that sustain livelihoods and ecosystems are destroyed.
On 5 November 2001, the UN General Assembly declared 6 November of each year as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict (A/RES/56/4).
On 27 May 2016, the United Nations Environment Assembly adopted resolution UNEP/EA.2/Res.15, which recognized the role of healthy ecosystems and sustainably managed resources in reducing the risk of armed conflict, and reaffirmed its strong commitment to the full implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals listed in General Assembly resolution 70/1, entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

#EnvironmentalCrime is highly profitable, generating $110–281 billion/year and supplying 38% of financing for illegal armed groups. It's part of the #NatureSecurity nexus—the vicious cycle of environmental degradation, biodiversity loss & insecurity.

The @WWF-@adelphi_berlin joint report 'The Nature of Conflict and Peace' is the first of its kind to look specifically into the #NatureSecurity nexus, addressing environmental risks to security that are not primarily related to climate change. #EarthDay
🌿https://t.co/UfK0nYe6eG
On International Mother #EarthDay 🌍 it is essential to remember that #ClimateChange isn't just an environmental problem but a threat to global security & peace! 🕊️
As climate-related conflicts continue to escalate, we call on everyone to take urgent #ClimateAction! 💪 #A4P
Interesting example of #NatureSecurity nexus in Gabon🇬🇦. Many of the security issues affecting the country—resource competition, environmental crimes, etc—are explored in-depth in the @WWF-@adelphi_berlin flagship report "The Nature of Conflict & Peace".

What is the connection between #nature and #conflict prevention?
Our experts highlight a beekeeping project in Gabon to show how efforts to protect and restore #biodiversity are needed in #security planning. 👇

🥇 In 2022, @WWF & @adelphi_berlin launched a flagship report on the #NatureSecurity nexus.
It outlines 4 pathways linking environmental degradation to insecurity and makes concrete recommendations towards a comprehensive environmental security agenda.
