Description: This article presents a scoping and conceptual literature review on environmental politics in North and East Syria/Rojava. The review aims to synthesize existing academic research in English on the interplay between armed conflict and environmental change in the region, focusing on the Kurdish-led socio-political model known as the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). The study is guided by two main questions: the knowledge produced about the environment's role in AANES politics and the theoretical advances in environmental politics. Employing a scope and conceptual literature review methodology, the article identifies key themes such as ecological sustainability, gender equality and direct democracy. It highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by AANES in implementing ecological policies amidst ongoing conflict and geopolitical pressures. The findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the need for further research on ecological democracy, environmental justice and peace ecology. The review concludes by emphasizing the significance of radical democratic and ecological consciousness in achieving peace and justice in conflict zones.
