Twelve research agendas for advancing the peace-sustainability nexus

Updated: Apr 9



In the face of global climate crises and conflicts, Simangan et al.'s (2025) Twelve research agendas for advancing the peace-sustainability nexus, identify the pathway through pluralistic, systematic, and inclusive analysis, integrating the bottom-up driven positive-peace building with sustainability to turn conflicts into opportunities for transformative, institutional, and social changes. The twelfth agenda aligns with SMARTS Center’s work and it calls attention to the necessity and urgency to incorporate a pluralistic and multifaceted development approach that side-step siloing and oversimplification of problems and instead recognizes the intersectional positionalities, interconnectedness, and contexts of all crises. Interventions based on principles of plurality need to deliver peace, and justice via social, economic, and political mechanisms while learning and utilizing insights from nature to create a regenerative future and align with global common goals.
