The UN Climate, Peace and Security Toolbox for practitioners was developed by the CSM with the support of partners from across and beyond the UN system. The toolbox has been designed to help practitioners:

• Conduct integrated analysis of compound climate-related peace and security risks, applying a gender and social inclusion lens;
• Apply climate-smart and conflict-sensitive analytical tools and methods for data collection & analysis;
• Assess possible entry points for inclusive peacebuilding, conflict prevention and climate adaptation;
• Use and combine different types of qualitative and quantitative data for assessment.

The Toolbox comprises four main guidance documents, available in English, Spanish and French (see the top right of the page to change the language):

• The Briefing Note provides a brief overview of the interlinkages between climate change, ecosystems and biodiversity loss, and peace and security, including illustrative examples.
• The Conceptual Approach outlines a common understanding of and approach to the assessment of climate-related peace and security risks in the UN system.
• The Conflict Analysis Checklist lists guiding questions for analysts to ensure climate change effects are taken into consideration during conflict analyses.
• the Data Sources document contains useful data sources to ensure assessments are informed by robust quantitative data.
