The workshop concluded with a clear statement: current academic and training programs do not provide a coherent methodology for students and practitioners to adequately face the challenges posed by the confluence of fragile states, climate risks, natural resources, conflict, and peacebuilding.]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/09/03/identifying-teaching-and-training-tools-on-peacebuilding-fragile-states-and-natural-resource-management/feed/ 1 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/09/20/climate-change-partisanship-and-conflict/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/09/20/climate-change-partisanship-and-conflict/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:35:59 +0000 Peter Coleman http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/?p=17884 When it comes to climate, data, research and problem-solving are taking a back seat to ideology, sentiment and politics.
