Conducted a roundtable discussion on peace and climate at Basecamp, bringing together various leaders from the settlement, structures, stakeholders including representatives from the Office of the Prime Minister, Yumbe District, Yumbe Police and partners such as IRC, REWO, ADRA, AFRI Youth Network, Windle International, RICE, and UNHCR, SAWA INNOVATIONS HUB, URDMC etc. The discussions featured a panel presentation by the Protection Lead from IRC Zone 1, who highlighted key factors contributing to conflicts within the settlement and their subsequent impact on the climate. These factors included the scarcity of resources, which has caused tensions between refugees and host communities, and bush burning during the dry season, which has had tragic consequences. A case study was shared from Zone 3, where a woman tragically lost her life due to a bushfire. Following the panel presentation, there were open discussions on strategies to enhance peace and address climate challenges. Suggestions included using ICT tools for sensitization on peaceful coexistence in multiple languages, fostering strong collaboration and coordination among partners, and integrating climate sessions into peacebuilding activities. The UNHCR Environment and Energy focal person emphasized the importance of addressing environmental issues, referencing the 2016 environmental impact assessment, which revealed that the average daily firewood consumption per household was 7 kg
