Caroline Kruckow has worked for development agencies of the Protestant churches in Germany since 1992. She is currently a policy advisor for peace and development at Brot für die Welt (Bread for the World), Germany. From 2008, she represented the Protestant Development Service (EED), and since 2012, she has been seconded by Brot für die Welt to the Working Group Peace & Development (FriEnt) in Bonn.

Her current work focuses on peace and climate, with particular attention to the climate-peace-security nexus, conflict sensitivity, environmental peacebuilding, climate adaptation, and climate-related loss and damage in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. This is closely linked to her work on land and resources and their potential to contribute to peace or fuel conflict. Previously, she worked on business and peace, including the risks associated with land-based investments and economic development, as well as opportunities for prevention and peacebuilding in collaboration with economic actors.
