- Summary:
- How can environmental co-operation be used to bolster regional peace? A large body of research suggests that environmental degradation may catalyze violent conflict. Environmental co-operation, in contrast, has gone almost unexplored as a means of peacemaking, even though it opens several effective channels: enhancing trust, establishing habits of co-operation, lengthening the time horizons of decisionmakers, forging co-operative trans-societal linkages, and creating shared regional norms and identities.
