The interlinkages between peace and sustainability are embedded in several international agreements and declarations and recognized by various research studies. However, the characteristics of their bidirectional relationship remain underexamined. Here we scope the complex and multifaceted relationship between peace and sustainability based on an experts workshop held at Hiroshima University in August 2019. The workshop focused on how peace, as a process or a condition, can help or hinder sustainability and vice versa. Relevant environmental, socio-political, and economic and technological considerations highlighted at the workshop were integrated into a co-designed heuristic guide for investigating the peace-sustainability nexus in the context of global change. The proposed guide aims to assist academic and policy researchers in identifying the specific pathways through which peace and sustainability interact when addressing complex challenges. The reinforcing potential of the two will ultimately depend on the governance and management of global transformations.

和平与可持续性之间的相互联系已嵌入若干国际协议和宣言中，并得到各种研究的认可。然而，它们的双向关系的特征仍未得到充分检验。在这里，我们根据 2019 年 8 月在广岛大学举行的专家研讨会，探讨和平与可持续发展之间复杂而多方面的关系。研讨会的重点是和平作为一个过程或条件如何帮助或阻碍可持续发展，反之亦然。研讨会上强调的相关环境、社会政治、经济和技术考虑因素被整合到共同设计的启发式指南中，用于调查全球变化背景下的和平与可持续性关系。拟议指南旨在帮助学术和政策研究人员确定在应对复杂挑战时和平与可持续性相互作用的具体途径。两者的增强潜力最终将取决于全球转型的治理和管理。
