What the study found

The review found that little research has been done on environmental provisions in peace agreements. Where these provisions are discussed in the scholarly literature, they are often described as vague and poorly implemented.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors say peace agreements may be a unique opportunity to address conflict and environmental risk together. They conclude that more investigation is needed into the role peace agreements play, and could play in the future, in formalizing environmental provisions.

What the researchers tested

The researchers conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles published in the last decade. They identified direct and tangentially related journal articles on environmental provisions in peace agreements and used the trends they found to develop recommendations for future investigation.

What worked and what didn't

The review did not find a large body of research on the topic. It also found that, in the literature reviewed, environmental provisions were often vague and poorly implemented.

What to keep in mind

The abstract does not describe study limitations in detail. The review is based on peer-reviewed articles from the last decade and focuses on direct and tangentially related literature.
