Environmental Peacebuilding: An Oral History | Dr. Ken Conca and Dr. Geoff Dabelko

The Wilson Center

On today’s episode of New Security Broadcast, the Wilson Center's Environmental Change and Security Program and the Environmental Peacebuilding Association launch a series of oral history interviews with experts to trace the history of the field of environmental peacebuilding. From the people who helped shape the field to those who are bringing new approaches and perspectives today, our guests give us a behind-the-scenes look at how the field of environmental peacebuilding first emerged and how it has evolved. In this first episode, ECSP’s Claire Doyle speaks with two of the field's early thought leaders, Dr. Ken Conca and Dr. Geoff Dabelko, who unpack what motivated them to publish their 2002 book “Environmental Peacemaking” and share how they’ve seen the field change, as well as their hopes for the future of environmental peacebuilding.
