With a highlight on successful case studies from the Horn and Sahel of Africa, findings have revealed that the climate induced scarcity exacerbates existing tensions, but promoting sustainable resource management can mitigate these effects through robust climate policies. This study explores how effective climate governance can contribute to peace building and conflict mitigation in Africa. Furthermore, it examined the intersection of climate governance and conflict resolution initiative, specifically the African Unions “Silencing the Guns” Initiative utilising the qualitative approach that includes participatory observation at regional summits and content analysis of policy documents. In order to include marginalized groups, women, and local communities in decision-making processes, inclusive governance frameworks are necessary, as the research highlights. The study’s conclusion, which advocates for a cooperative approach to policy-making that unites environmental sustainability with security goals, is that climate governance is not just an environmental problem but also a crucial element of sustainable peace. This study provides essential insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and scholars in understanding the dual role of climate governance in fostering environmental resilience and societal stability in Africa.
