HIGHLIGHTS
Peace Building Conference
Road to peace through environmental sustainability focus of first of six peacebuilding conferences worldwide
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA Having played a key role in founding of the United Nations and led
the 30-year global campaign to rid the world of polio, from 350,000 cases in 120 countries to 21
over the past year in three countries, Rotary International is highlighting opportunities to
address the massive, complex challenge of peacebuilding through a series of six international
conferences, the first to be held in Vancouver on February 10, 2018. The theme of this first
conference is peacebuilding through environmental sustainability.
Conflict and violence displace millions of people each year. Half of those killed in conflict are
children, and 90 percent are civilians. Often conflict starts and continues over long periods in
competition for dwindling resources and as environmental changes force people to migrate.
The conference https://environmentandpeace.com/ will examine sustainable global and local
environmental practices, and their contributions to peacebuilding and peacemaking.
Participants will discuss the impact of environmental issues on health, fresh air, clean water,
vegetation, and food production - and how improved environmental conditions are a
fundamental condition of building peace within communities. The conference will bring
together global and local community leaders, youth, and representatives from the public,
private, and government sectors.
This Rotary Presidential Peacebuilding Conference in Vancouver is the first in a series of six in
2018 to be held on different aspects of peacebuilding, with others scheduled for Beirut,
Lebanon, Coventry, United Kingdom, Sydney, Australia, Taranto, Italy and Chicago, United
States.

Ian Riseley, Rotary Ian Riseley, Rotary International President 2017-18, of Sandringham,
Victoria, Australia
“The six peacebuilding conferences are designed to help us better understand the connections between
Rotary’s six areas of focus – disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child
health, basic education and literacy, and economy and community development – and our commitment to
building peace. Environmental issues have a significant and lasting impact on every one of Rotary’s six
areas of focus. By addressing challenges with the environment, we can make a difference in all of those
areas.”
~ Ian Riseley, President of Rotary International
“For over 110 years Rotary has been serving communities here at home and around the world where there
is a need for support. It is an honour for Vancouver and Canada to host the first of six Rotary Presidential
Peacebuilding conferences also to be held in the Middle East, Europe, Australia as well as North America.
Canada, British Columbia and Vancouver are known for their leadership not only in peacekeeping, but
environmental issues, so it is fitting that the theme of this first conference is peacebuilding as it relates to
environmental sustainability. In the end, through this conference, we can re-focus on another way of
viewing peacebuilding through the lens of protecting our environment and reducing conflict over increasing
competition for dwindling resources. It’s a huge challenge, but Rotary is up to it, as we have demonstrated
in pursuing other global causes of making the world a better place.”
~ John Anderson, Conference Chair

Environmental Sustainability and Peace Volatile rainfall and temperature trends in many parts of the world have exerted significant
pressure on available land, water and food resources leading to diminishing food stocks,
inadequate water supply, mass migration and desertification, according to the United States
Institute of Peace.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects that rapidly changing variables in the
atmosphere could expose an additional 250 million people to increased water stress in Africa by
2020, with yields from rain-fed agriculture dropping by 50%. The likelihood of flooding in Asia
could rise from 10 to 40%, affecting lives and livelihood of millions. The loss of biodiversity in
Latin America would have global ramifications and could precipitate mass displacement.
By 2050, water resources in Caribbean and Pacific Islands are expected to be insufficient to
meet demand. Subsequently, millions will be pushed from subsistence to desperation and
heightened competition for scarce resources would create flash points that could trigger
violence. These developments have dire implications for peace and sustainable economic
development.

Environmental peacebuilding examines and advocates environmental protection and
cooperation as a factor in peaceful relations. Those engaged in peacebuilding aim to identify
the conditions that lead beyond a temporary cessation of violence to sustainable processes of
conflict management and mutual cooperation between those who have previously been
adversaries.
Rotary International Environmental Projects and Programs
Advocates of environmental peacebuilding examine the role of environmental factors in moving
towards a sustainable peace. For instance, warfare devastates ecosystems and the livelihoods
of those who depend on natural resources, and the anarchy of conflict situations leads to the
uncontrolled, destructive exploitation of natural resources.
Preventing these impacts allows for an easier movement to a sustainable peace. From a more
positive perspective, environmental cooperation can be one of the places where hostile parties
can sustain a dialogue, and sustainable development is a prerequisite for a sustainable peace.

Rotary’s global commitment Rotary is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and
create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.
https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes All six areas of focus form one integrated system for a
more peaceful, collaborative world all co-habitating a shared sustainable environment. In
promoting peace, Rotary sponsors every year 100 peace fellowships – 50 Master’s degree and
50 certificate programs -- at Rotary Peace Centers at universities around the world, with over
1,000 graduates from the program.
Promoting peace Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and
mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
Fighting disease We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access
to low-cost and free health care in developing areas.
Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We
share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.
Saving mothers and children Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and
their children can live and grow stronger.
Supporting education More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce
gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
Growing local economies We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also strengthen local
entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
Ending polio forever Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for over 30 years, and our goal of ridding the earth of this disease is in sight. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan are the only countries where polio sremains endemic.
