Environmental Governance for Peace in Colombia (Road to Geneva)

enpax flyer
Thursday, March 18, 2021
11:00 am - 8:00 pm

This conference will examine ways to improve environmental governance and legality of natural resource management to support peace in Colombia. The conference will focus on four overarching sets of questions:

1. In the context of natural resources and peace in Colombia, what do legality and environmental rule of law mean? How can legal regimes protect both the environment and communities?
2. What laws, institutions, and practices are working, and which need to be revised? How?
3. What are the priority next steps for managing Colombia's natural resources to support the transition to peace?
4. What has been done in Colombia to use natural capital as an instrument for peacebuilding? What has been achieved, what have we learned, and how can this be leveraged?

Participants will explore these themes through four main tracks:
1. Land and forests;
2. Extractives (oil, gas, and minerals);
3. Climate change; and
4. Justice/environmental rule of law.

Registration is closed. We will be live-streaming the opening and closing plenaries on our YouTube channels here: ELI(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYdYPoCA4zmBdJn7blydc1Q) and EnPAx(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzvdYmhEI3YH966xvzF2QcQ).
