Prisons are often left out of sustainability conversations, yet they represent a unique opportunity to drive environmental change. With their high resource consumption and closed-loop systems, correctional facilities can serve as models for innovative sustainability practices.

UNICRI’s latest methodology, "Analysis of Interconnected Climate Security and Violent Extremism Risks: A Practical Guide for Mauritania," was developed with the generous financial support of the German Federal Foreign Office. This practical and gender-responsive tool provides a structured framework for analysing the complex intersections of climate change and violent extremism risks in Mauritania, enabling more informed, inclusive, and resilient responses.
