About
Integral to the mission of the Cambridge Peaceshaping & Climate Lab is to research the interrelationship between peace, conflict and climate change.
CPCL works with a range of scholars and institutions to develop academic papers, working papers and summaries of the research.
We have produced a series of working papers and summary reports, aligning to the work streams.
