Environmental Justice in Early Recovery Efforts in Syria

The handbook discusses how early recovery projects in Syria can be conducted in an environmentally and socially just manner. It evaluates current recovery projects and demonstrates that the exclusion of marginalized groups, poor planning, and short-sighted outcomes of recovery projects can exacerbate grievances and undermine the long-term stability of the recovery process. It entails a list of recommendations and a check-list for practitioners on how to make recovery eco-socially equitable in practice. The handbook was developed by Syrbanism and supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung through the project "Syrbanism - Introducing Climate Justice in Early Recovery in Syria".
