ABSTRACT
Background:
The peace-building process is an essential tactic for addressing the social, political, and economic issues that arise during and following conflicts. These approaches also address environmental issues, empowering them to confront ecological damage as well as stress the causes of resource-related conflicts.

Objectives:
The main objective of current study was to assess the environmental, social and gender aspects of the environmental peace-building processes in the turbulent world today full of conflicts and wars. Recent research has focused on peace paths that link political, socioeconomic, and environmental aspects of peace-building approaches.

Methods:
This current study is based on an evaluation of peer-reviewed academic works. It aims to identify, explain, and comprehend the potential paths that environmental peace-building processes may follow in societies impacted by armed conflicts. The article presents a theory-based analytical framework outlining the pathways that originate from the incorporation of environmental issues in peace-building initiatives, leading to environmental and societal outcomes of these efforts, as well as opportunities for enduring peace. The current research also envisages a modest analysis of the women's role and importance in the process of environmental peace-building. The study offers some examples from several countries, including Georgia.

Results:
Environmental peace-building represents an important evolution in the study of peace and conflict, suggesting innovative strategies to highlight the interconnected issues of environmental decline and conflicts. This approach emphasizes collective environmental responsibilities, provides a constructive alternative for peaceful solutions, and views environmental change primarily as an amplifying risk.

Conclusion:
The research determines that both power dynamics and prevailing descriptions considerably affect how environmental peace-building can take place. Nevertheless, the discipline is still evolving, requiring more extensive research, a deeper understanding of the complex driving forces, and careful consideration of the potential for environmental cooperation or change in existing conflict dynamics
