Indigenous women and girls are making significant contributions to global peace agendas through their traditional knowledge of natural resource management and valuable insights on how to cope with the negative impacts of climate change. In our most read post, Marisa O. Ensor highlights the importance of these “Unsung Sheroes” in moving global agendas forward.

In the second most read post, Isigi Kadagi, Zachary Lien, and Cullen Hendrix explore the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission’s capacity to combat threats and dispute conflicts that are undermining the sustainability of fisheries in the Indian Ocean.

Our third and fifth most read posts this month are contributions to our Uncharted Territory series. Jack A. Goldstone looks ahead to emerging trends in global population, climate, and politics, and Aaron Wolf and Mckenna Coffey argue that in order to avoid future conflicts over water, we need to expand how we conceptualize shared waters and address inequities in water management.

The fourth most read (or listened to!) post this month features a conversation with Geoff Dabelko and Sharon Burke on environmental peacebuilding in an era of great power competition.
