Can climate finance align with peace and prevent conflict?

▶️ Many fragile contexts are also on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
▶️Conflict can be an obstacle to effective climate finance, impeding or destroying investments in adaptation and mitigation.
▶️ On the flip side, "peace positive" climate finance can reduce competition for natural capital and relieve infrastructure pressure.

❔ Are there any challenges to bridging climate finance and peace and security stakeholders?
❔ How do we ensure this conversation doesn't overshadow the need for developing economies to reduce emissions?
