“…Political ecology is a theoretical field that took shape in the 1980s based on contributions from different disciplines and aimed to form an interdisciplinary study area of conflicts over access, dispossession, use, and usufruct of the territorial resources and social capacities (Biersack & Greenberg, 2006; Brauch, 2021; Goldman et al, 2018). Political ecology accounts for the colonization of nature and people, the socioeconomic metabolism by appropriation, transformation, distribution, and consumption of energy and materials, and the consequent generation of waste.…”

“…Political ecology and decoloniality approaches in Latin America are immersed in discussions about oil extraction, mining, and environmental conservation (Brauch, 2021; Mignolo, 2012). In response to these conflicts, other conceptualizations and practices involving the environment have emerged powerfully, for example, the notion of earth beings (de la Cadena, 2015) or the notion of Yrmo of the Yshiro people (Blaser, 2010), as alternative and ancestral conceptualizations of what modern science has defined as nature or the environment.…”

“…The “local turn” in peace and conflict studies puts scholarly attention to day-to-day practices, the role of local communities, and micro-level strategies of governance and how these are intertwined with ecosystem changes, resource governance (e.g., land), or indigenous methods of authority over territories (Brauch, 2021; Kyrou, 2007). For example, it is well established that armed actors build so-called “basic legitimacy” in violent conflicts by establishing violent social order and providing both protection and services to citizens, for example, also through forest protection schemes or rules on resource extractivism (Arjona, 2016; Schlichte, 2009; Schlichte & Schneckener, 2015; Staniland, 2012).…”

The complex pathways of armed conflict and its consequences for ecosystem transformations and environmental change have been well established in the literature. However, despite recent progress in this subject area, there is still a lack of integrative transdisciplinary research in this context, limiting our potential to fully understand the scalar interwoven processes of armed conflict, societal transformation, and ecological consequences. We address this desideratum by suggesting an alternative way of understanding the dynamics of environmental peacebuilding (EP) that integrates local narratives about “nature” and “conflict” with “real-world” data. By this, we aim to first foster a transdisciplinary heuristic linking environmental and earth system science with political ecology and social science. Second, we base our heuristic on a decolonial understanding of knowledge production, thus integrating complementary ways of seeing from above and from below into an interactive and relational practice of knowing. Our paper is based on research and intervention projects, combining both statistical and quantitative human geographical data with ethnographic field research to understand deforestation. With this paper, we hope to encourage academic discussions on alternative ontologies and epistemic practices and inform contextualized EP efforts.

“…We need do take measures to reduce, reuse, recycle and adopt a sustainable lifestyle. Environmental peace contributes to the construction of the concept of a culture of peace because it fosters respect for the environment, sustainable living, nature protection, environmental stewardship and an eco-friendly lifestyle (Conca and Beevers, 2018; Ogden, 2018; Salazar et al , 2018; Dresse et al , 2019; Ide, 2019; Brauch, 2021).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine peace as a paradigm for promoting peace culture. Design/methodology/approach The paper amalgamates paradigmatic concepts, insights and analytical writing while building on existing literature. Findings The findings of this research suggest that the paradigm of peace can be used as a model to promote peace culture and harmony in the 21st century, which is characterized by “hyper” and “super” diversity. Diversity is everywhere, including schools, workplaces and marketplaces. Diversity is very complex and encompasses nearly every element of human life. Diversity should not only be based on the race, culture, ethnicity, religion or gender of an individual. Diversity should be based on the uniqueness of an individual. The fact that we live in a diverse world does not mean that we cannot coexist harmoniously. This paper explores the paradigm of peace research by focusing on how it enhances peace culture to thrive amidst diversity. This study also illustrates that peace and conflict studies cannot be restricted to the resolution of war, violence and conflict. It can likewise aid us in addressing cultural, racial, religious and ethnic concerns. In addition, this research demonstrates that encouraging positive peace (and discouraging negative peace) can be used as a deterrent against violence, including war and conflict. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates the significance of personal peace and some other types of peace. It demonstrates that inner peace combined with external peace yields personal peace. Therefore, an individual may not be able to enjoy the holistic values of personal peace without inner and external peace. Also, this research indicates that encouraging a daily culture of peace can assist us in becoming quotidian agents of peace. Originality/value Most publications focused on peace and conflict but made no connection between peace and culture. In addition, the majority of publications did not discuss peace as a paradigm that can aid in promoting a culture of peace and nonviolence. In addition, most papers did not link peace culture with diversity. Moreover, the majority of studies did not connect peace with the environment. This study addresses these gaps by introducing peace as a paradigm for fostering a culture of peace amidst diversity in the 21st century. This paper introduces peace as a paradigm for promoting nonviolence, peace culture and harmony. This study also emphasizes the need for environmental peace, thereby increasing awareness of the problems that affect the planet. This study also includes a discussion of positive and negative peace, as well as other definitions and viewpoints of peace. It also underlines the importance of establishing positive peace. This paper can be used as an introductory pathway to understanding the intriguing aspect of peace that fosters a peace culture if practiced adequately and why a peace culture is important in a world of diversity.

“…The research by Brauch [10] focuses on anthropocentrism, which is impossible without taking into account the ecological factor in the postconflict period where all stress factors have a much greater character and leave consequences that should be mitigated by shifting society to a new innovative level, which should be adopted comprehensively to create proper condi tions for future generations.…”

Purpose. The paper substantiates the approach to managing the renewal of ecosystems of territories and the renovation of infrastructure using investment support and resource rationalization based on the financial development of a sustainable built environment. Methodology. The methodology is based on a study of the investment and financial resources that can be used to rebuild destroyed infrastructure, and it was carried out using analytical methods to assess infrastructure renovation costs, statistical methods of data analysis on the state of the environmental and economic systems, as well as mathematical modeling and balance methods for the formation of a green city model. Findings. The investment potential of Ukraine was analyzed, and a conclusion was made about the feasibility of implementing the project, increasing the economic efficiency of smart green cities, which creates prerequisites for further infrastructure renovation in Ukraine. The study reveals the key economic and environmental problems of Ukraine, suggests ways of overcoming them, and offers a model for developing the territories destroyed by military action. An approach to the renovation of the territory based on the restoration of the ecosystems of the regions and cities and the creation of comfortable conditions for the return of citizens to their homeland is proposed. Originality. The article outlines the basic principles for renovating a destroyed infrastructure based on energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. The possibilities of financing environmental projects in the post-war restoration of the national economy are considered. Practical value. The proposed approach makes it possible to evaluate investments in infrastructure renovation and ensure effective management of financial development in a sustainable-built environment.
