Content
This online training guides you through the process of integrating climate awareness into your peace practice, moving from coneptual understanding to concrete application. You will begin by exploring the complex intersections of climate change, conflict, and fragility. An important aspect of this will be to refine your understanding of conflict and climate change dynamics and their impacts on diverse populations. As you progress, you will develop a practical understanding on how to integrate climate-sensitivity into conflict analysis, and engage with case studies from across the world to adapt proven examples and strategies to your own work.

Who can register for this training?
The training is designed for peace practitioners and individuals interested in the topic seeking to broaden their perspectives and knowledge by integrating environmental and climate-related aspects into their existing work. It addresses those who already possess a foundational understanding of peace and conflict theories, and offers a flexible, thematic online format that accommodates regular job schedules and allows for global participation from diverse locations.
By focusing on "Climate-Sensitive Peacebuilding," the Academy aims to equip active peace workers with the specialized knowledge needed to assess climate risks and adapt both ongoing and planned projects to address the growing intersection of climate change, conflict, and fragility. Whether you are looking to refine current initiatives or design new interventions that account for environmental dynamics, this training provides the practical tools and collaborative space necessary to enhance climate-sensitivity in your specific context.
We prioritise smaller class sizes to promote interactive exchanges and the integration of your own practical experiences. Therefore we limit the number of spaces to a maximum of 20 participants. Register early to reserve your place!

Methodology
Grounded in adult-learning principles and a practice-based design, this online training blends concise expert inputs with guided application, peer exchange, and facilitated reflection. The curriculum centers practical examples and your own context, with the aim to develop concrete outputs during the course that can be applied to your work. Complementing these interactive sessions are curated academic and practitioner readings, alongside structured reflections on critical themes such as power dynamics, gender, and intersectionality.
Workload & Deliverables
To ensure a successful learning experience, active participation and full attendance in at least three of the four live sessions is required. Throughout the course, you will work both individually and collaboratively to develop a simplified, climate-sensitive conflict analysis tailored to your specific operational environment, culminating in presentations during subsequent sessions. The submission of this final analysis by the course deadline is mandatory, with personalized feedback provided by the trainer to support your further learning process.
After a successful participation, participants receive a certificate and become part of our alumni network.
