Construction flood planning – is historic data enough?
As weather patterns evolve and climate-related risks intensify, the construction sector must rethink how it assesses flood exposure. South Africa is on the cusp of yet another unprecedented weather cycle. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) predicts a moderate-to-strong El Niño event developing between now and August 2026. Climatologists warn this could rank among the strongest events on record.

Understanding Peacebuilding: An Issue of Approach Rather than Definition
*Originally published in 2022 and preserved as part of our archive project.Get E-International Relations delivered to your inbox, free of charge. As you sign up, consider becoming a paid subscriber to support our work. Peacebuilding studies typically begin with a sentence along the lines of: ‘peacebuilding defies a single definition’ (Tschirgi 2013, 197), or ‘it is difficult to define the concept’ (Ryan 2013, 31). However, there is rarely a reflection on exactly why peacebuilding evades definition.
From the Periphery to the Centre: Why Civil Society is the Future of Peacebuilding
While indigenous civil society organisations (CSOs) are important actors in post-conflict peacebuilding, they have traditionally played a somewhat secondary role by carrying out unofficial Track II (T2) peacebuilding activities, such as peace education programs and problem-solving workshops. They are often absent from the negotiating table, with official mediation instead led by international actors and diplomats.

NZ Budget 2024: ‘tax relief’ for the ‘squeezed middle’ - but who’s paying? 7 experts follow the money
Craig Elliffe: Small cuts, big consequences Honestly, who would want to be Nicola Willis at this point? The effect of $14.7 billion of tax cuts is going to mean a dramatic rethink on expenditure in New Zealand in the long term, and about what sort of public services we expect as a country. The government’s cut-it-back strategy appears focused on the next four years, not a longer horizon. From a broader economic perspective, the hope is the cuts will provide help for households.
Interpreting Indigenous Peacebuilding Civil Society Organisations

Some question whether CSOs help to build a sustainable peace, with focus usually on a specific case study. Others investigate the relations between CSOs and members of the international community who are involved in a particular conflict.

The water companies who pollute our rivers with sewage
I have been filming underwater in UK rivers for well over 30 years. Over those years, I have seen everything, from remarkable sights of fish, to actually being covered in sewage when filming discharge points underwater. When I first started filming underwater, it was not uncommon for me to lay in a shoal of grayling 200 strong, move forward to 2021 and I am now filming grayling in pockets of 20 to 30.
