“…Environmental peacebuilding is based on the hypothesis that the mutual benefits of cooperation outgrow the self-interested rationale of conflicts and can contribute to the pacification of coupled humannatural systems in a durable and multifaceted way (Dalton, 2011;Dombrowsky, 2009). This hypothesis is supported by most non-orthodox economic approaches, nuancing rational choice as a primary motivation for human action, viewing conflict as not purely determined by competition but resulting from many factors (Dupuy et al, 2015). International organisations and policy-makers are also increasingly turning to environmental cooperation as a potential peacebuilding tool to address resource-driven conflicts and beyond.…”

Environmental peacebuilding represents a paradigm shift from a nexus of environmental scarcity to one of environmental peace. It rests on the assumption that the biophysical environment’s inherent characteristics can act as incentives for cooperation and peace, rather than violence and competition. Based on this, environmental peacebuilding presents cooperation as a win-win solution and escape from the zero-sum logic of conflict. However, there is a lack of coherent environmental peacebuilding framework and evidence corroborating the existence of this environment-peace nexus. Building on a multidisciplinary literature review, this article examines the evolution of environmental peacebuilding into an emerging framework. It unpacks the concept and explains its main building blocks (conditions, mechanisms and outcomes) to develop our understanding of when, how and why environmental cooperation can serve as a peacebuilding tool. It assembles these building blocks into three generic trajectories (technical, restorative and sustainable environmental peacebuilding), each characterised according to their own causality, drivers and prerequisites, and illustrated with concrete examples. Finally, this article draws attention to the remaining theoretical gaps in the environmental peacebuilding literature, and lays the foundations for an environmental peacebuilding research agenda that clarifies if and how environmental cooperation can spill over across borders, sectors and scales towards sustainable peace.

“…Nonetheless, not all the socio-environmental conflicts that occur in developed countries are limited to either distribution matters or the powerful versus poor people pairing [21]. Folchi [1] suggests a notion that is more suited to the study of socio-environmental conflicts in developed countries and, thus, better adapts to this research.…”

New environmental conflicts arise all the time as a consequence of the industrial economy and economic growth. The search for new energy and new materials jeopardizes the margin to promote sustainable development in many local communities. In this paper, we examine a conflict related to hydrocarbons projects in the Balearic Sea (Spain) from the social innovation perspective. This novel approach allows us to focus on how socially innovative responses can be triggered by environmental threats. A set of mixed methods (qualitative analysis and social network analysis) are implemented to study the emergence and development of Alianza Mar Blava in Ibiza–Formentera. This is an initiative that successfully activates new social relations and new collective practices that contribute to transform the environmental conflict. In this study, we highlight the strategic factors that allow the conflict to be transformed as well as other social processes that ultimately promote local sustainable development beyond the conflict.

El conocimiento de los conflictos y por ende su estudio fue gracias a conceptos como la ecología política y el análisis de los recursos comunes (DUPUY; ROMAN; MOUGENOT, 2015). Los conflictos mineros socioambientales radican en la visión económica tradicional que se tiene; sin embargo, los recursos naturales necesitan ser institucionalizados; por ello es 12-22 necesario refinar el modelo de los bienes comunes y compararlo con otros estudios de caso para tener una visión holística de los recursos (DUPUY; ROMAN; MOUGENOT, 2015).…”

La minería es la extracción de minerales en diversas escalas y en diversas modalidades. Como cualquier otro sector económico de producción, genera impactos positivos y negativos. Sin embargo, también generan impactos negativos si no se tiene una buena gestión ambiental ni responsabilidad social. Por ello, muchos países mineros, tienen conflictos sociales por dichos impactos, ante ello existe el Observatorio de Conflictos Mineros el cual mapea el origen y causa de los conflictos mineros. La pregunta que guía este artículo es ¿Qué aspectos relacionan a la minería a la sostenibilidad? Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es de presentar una revisión sistemática multinivel de los documentos científicos y políticos para identificar las perspectivas y brechas de la sostenibilidad en el sector minero bajo una perspectiva de la epistemología ambiental en cuatro categorías: (i) la presencia del ambiente en la minería, (ii) gestión ambiental, (iii) conflictos y (iv) soluciones. Fueron encontrados a nivel global y transnacional un total de 87197 documentos científicos y 14303 documentos legislativos, los cuales se categorizaron y filtraron según la metodología PRISMA para revisar las cuatro categorías. No hay duda que el sector minero debe aplicar términos como una gestión ambiental eficaz y el desarrollo sostenible, pudiéndolo hacer mediante diversas herramientas; tales como el cumplimiento de las normas y estándares nacionales e internacionales obligatoria e inclusive las certificaciones ambientales voluntarias mediante la inclusión de tecnologías limpias o términos de gestión como la economía circular y la ecología industrial.
