Launching the website for our Environmental Pathways for Reconciliation project in Yemen

13/05/2025

The European Institute of Peace is proud to announce the launch of the website for our Environmental Pathways for Reconciliation (EPfR) project, which contributes to building a sustainable peace in Yemen by using the environment as an entry point for dialogue, reconciliation and trust-building among different parties at both the community and the national level.

The website contains comprehensive information on our team’s research and analysis work on environmental security and governance in Yemen and on the project’s consultations with the local population and engagement with decision-makers, with over 3,600 individuals involved across 13 governorates so far.  Through these dialogue spaces that convene local decision-makers, traditional leaders, civil society, and subject experts, Yemeni citizens can identify locally led peacemaking solutions to address environmental risks and enhance resilience.

This website aims to become a key resource not only for the EPfR project, but for environmental peacemaking at large, showcasing the lessons generated by the project that can contribute to guiding integrated programmes on climate, peace and security – in Yemen and internationally.

The project is implemented by the European Institute of Peace with support from the German Federal Foreign Office and is part of the Weathering Risk Peace Pillar led by adelphi.
