Pathways to Recovery

A new report by Christina Engel, published on Integrity Rising, explores the links between drug use and homelessness in Minnesota, arguing that a person is more than their struggle and highlighting pathways to recovery. The piece calls for seeing people affected by addiction and homelessness with dignity rather than judgment, and points to the hope of rehabilitation.

The Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies is holding an event titled 'The Environment in Conflict: Implications and Pathways'. The session examines how armed conflict affects the environment and explores pathways for addressing environmental damage in peacebuilding. Discussion focuses on the link between environmental degradation, violence and post-conflict recovery.

The Arab Reform Initiative has published an analysis of Syria's recovery pathway, arguing that reconstruction cannot be separated from environmental politics. The piece examines how rebuilding decisions on infrastructure, resources and land will shape the country's postwar future, and urges that environmental considerations be placed at the centre of reconstruction planning rather than treated as an afterthought.
