1:20:37Now PlayingCovid, Climate, and Conflict: Rising to the Challenges of a Disrupted World
For 10 years, the annual PeaceCon conference has offered a dynamic platform for frontline peacebuilders, policymakers, philanthropists, and private sector and civil society leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue and develop substantive plans for action. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, migration, authoritarian resurgence, disinformation, and a crumbling international order, the field of peacebuilding and conflict resolution is facing a profound reckoning. PeaceCon@10: COVID, Climate, and Conflict: Rising to the Challenges of a Disrupted World, will explore how the field can address these pressing short and long-term challenges to achieve a more peaceful and secure world.
Join USIP, in partnership with the Alliance for Peacebuilding, as we kickstart PeaceCon@10 with remarks by Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, and a plenary panel discussion on January 26, 2022. The discussion will address the relationship among climate change, conflict, and fragility, and consider strategies for the international community to address the peace and security implications of these issues as well as the ongoing pandemic.
