Expected outcomes of the project are:

• Key academic debates on climate action, climate change and conflict have been influenced by ENVIU’s critical and locally anchored research, contributing directly to reframe the empirical and theoretical foundations for the understanding of the nexus between environmental change and everyday violence.

• New analytical concepts and methodologies for the understanding of everyday violence and environmental change from a decolonial and intersectional perspective produced by the ENVIU research team are acknowledged and cited in key academic debates on climate action, climate change and conflict.

• ENVIU partners and their networks have achieved enhanced capacity for conducting and co-creating critical social research on environmental change and everyday violence (including a broad selection of PhD students).

• Local leadership in knowledge production and the translation of research to practice have been enhanced through rights-based participation of new community-based stakeholders affected by environmental change and violence in key policy debates on climate change.

• Research-based intersectional, decolonial, and everyday perspectives have informed policy formulation and implementation of climate action towards social justice and equality through strategic engagement with key national and international stakeholders.

 

The main documented outputs will include:

• 3 PhDs graduated from MISR (one semester in Denmark) and 6 post docs specialising in climate change and violence
• 50+ researchers and activists in Uganda trained in interdisciplinary, decolonial and intersectional methodologies
• 18 conference papers
• 16+ peer reviewed articles
• 2 edited volumes
• 9 colloquium research workshops and working papers
• 4 national and 2 international policy dialogues and 6 policy briefs
• 10 community outreach fora
• 1 international academic conference.
