Poor governance of the environment and natural resources can contribute to the outbreak of conflict. It can fuel and finance existing conflicts and it can increase the risk of relapse.  Conversely, there are many examples of natural resources serving as catalysts for peaceful cooperation, confidence-building and poverty reduction.

环境资源和自然资源治理不当会引发冲突，也会给现有的冲突火上浇油并使之获得资金支持，还会增加冲突死灰复燃的风险。但另一方面，也有许多例子表明自然资源可以推动和平合作、建立信任和减少贫困。
