In a society bearing the scars of conflict, inflammatory mis- and disinformation online is straining peacebuilding efforts in CAR. Weaponised by elites & armed groups, digital tools are being used to stoke fear, polarise communities and subject women, young people & civil society to targeted abuse.

Climate change and resource scarcity disproportionately affect women and historically excluded groups, altering traditional roles and shifting community power dynamics. Yet, environmental initiatives are often treated as neutral, purely technical exercises.

What distinguishes a peace process that holds from one that unravels? The first season of our podcast, Peace in Action, explores this across a range of contexts.

Increasing evidence demonstrates how the global climate crisis and environmental degradation act as a risk multiplier. They can amplify vulnerabilities, inequalities and exclusions, and potentially exacerbate violent conflict and instability.

A lot gets left out of how peace processes are described. The back-channels that never made headlines, community dialogues that happened before formal negotiations, survivors whose testimony no-one expected to document. Our #podcast series, Peace in Action, tries to stay close to those realities.

Managing legal sanctions and counter-terrorism laws can be complex for charities and campaigning organisations. While regulators often suggest seeking independent legal advice to navigate these rules, accessing specialised support that fits within a limited budget remains a major barrier.

Following collaborative, cross-border dialogues among 60+ young leaders from seven nations, representatives officially presented the Accra Youth Declaration on Peace and Security in West Africa to Baraky Sonko, the African Union Youth Ambassador for Peace for West Africa. buff.ly/IycKBow

Earlier this week, we launched a new toolkit, Just Advice, in partnership with Sistren Legal Collective. This practical guide is designed to demystify the legal system for organisations operating under English and Welsh law.

On Tuesday, analysts, practitioners, diplomats and policymakers gathered at the Residence of the Finnish Ambassador for our London Climate Action Week event, "From climate (in)security to conflict transformation." It's encouraging to see the topics of climate & security more present during LCAW.

When peace agreements & justice systems exclude perspectives of women, the durability of peace itself is placed at risk. Recent initiatives in Liberia & Somali Regional State of Ethiopia show how local, women-led CSOs are essential to building stable, fair societies in the wake of conflict.
