Environmental Pathways to Peace? Can we utilize the logic of environmental interdependence to talk across lines of tension? –State to state –Civil society to civil society Use cooperative efforts and dialogue to manage environmental resources as a way to transform insecurities and create more peaceful relations between parties in dispute Help overcome political tensions through interaction, confidence building, and technical cooperation

Some Key Challenges Overcoming institutional barriers to cooperation among agencies Improving donor coordination and duration of commitment Size matters for donors and recipients Shortage of capable facilitators Staying behind the scenes – U.S. can’t always be out front How to demonstrate success if success is a null case
