Environmental peacebuilding integrates sustainable natural resource management into peacebuilding processes to promote peace and stability. Environmental peacebuilding scholars increasingly view resilience as an important concept. Yet, the ways in which they understand resilience and its relationship to the environment, conflict, and peacebuilding remain unclear. Much of the research vaguely argues that cooperative natural resource management builds resilience, which has a positive impact on peace amid environmental change. Here, we examine the relationship between resilience and environmental peacebuilding. We review environmental peacebuilding scholarship produced between 2016 and 2022 to assess how scholars 1) employ resilience and 2) conceptualize the mechanisms linking resilience and peace. We argue that scholars need to think critically about the role of resilience in environmental peacebuilding as integrating a nebulous concept such as resilience may serve to muddle rather than clarify natural resource management–peace causal linkages. We offer recommendations on how to better integrate resilience within environmental peacebuilding research and practice.

环境和平建设将可持续自然资源管理纳入建设和平进程，以促进和平与稳定。环境和平建设学者越来越将复原力视为一个重要概念。然而，他们如何理解复原力及其与环境、冲突和建设和平的关系仍不清楚。许多研究模糊地认为，合作性自然资源管理可以增强复原力，这对环境变化中的和平产生积极影响。在这里，我们研究了复原力与环境和平建设之间的关系。我们回顾了 2016 年至 2022 年期间产生的环境和平建设奖学金，以评估学者们如何 1）利用复原力和 2）概念化连接复原力与和平的机制。我们认为，学者们需要批判性地思考复原力在环境和平建设中的作用，因为整合复原力等模糊概念可能会混淆而不是澄清自然资源管理与和平的因果关系。我们就如何更好地将复原力纳入环境和平建设研究和实践提供建议。
