The 2020 NERPS Science Plan outlines the implementation for achieving the following scientific objectives:
Synthesize the current knowledge on the interactions between sustainability and peace (both negative and positive)
Explore methodological aspects of studying the peace-sustainability nexus
Promote inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches and methods to co-design and co-implement research on the peace-sustainability nexus
Examine uni- and bi-directional causal linkages between peace and sustainability through case study analyses
Organize workshops and scientific conferences to communicate the findings to a wide range of stakeholders
Over the past two years, NERPS has consulted with stakeholders (i.e., scientists, policy makers, and representatives from public and private sectors) through science-policy workshops to identify the following priority areas:
Regular systematic reviews of literature on the peace sustainability nexus
Research related to resources in the context of the nexus (i.e., land, water, food, energy, fisheries, minerals, oil and gas, etc.)
Research on the implications of smart technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, big data, internet of things, etc.) for peace and sustainability
Research on the implications of migration due to environmental/climate change, disasters, conflicts, etc. for peace and sustainability
Research on governance-related issues (i.e., local, national, and international governance, institutions, justice, etc.)
Issues related to education for sustainable development and its contributions to peace and sustainability
