Abstract
Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have long recognized the mutually reinforcing nature of peace and sustainability. This recognition has been reinforced by the unanimous adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. SDG 16 on Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions is seen as a catalyst for achieving all other goals. However, despite this growing awareness of the interconnectedness between peace and sustainability, there remains a need to gain a deeper understanding of the specific factors and mechanisms that foster this symbiotic relationship. It is also crucial to examine under what conditions or dynamics we can study such interplay between peace and sustainability. This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of these issues while showcasing how our edited volume contributes to bridging peace and sustainability amidst global transformations.
