The Geneva Peacebuilding Platform has the pleasure to invite you to:
Building Peace 2030:
Facing a new strategic landscape of conflict
Annual Meeting of the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform
20 November 2015, 8.30-16.15
Geneva, Maison de la Paix, Auditorium Ivan Pictet
The Annual Meeting is part of Geneva Peace Week
Summary
What is the outlook on conflict and risk trends for the next 15 years? What do peacebuilders have to offer as solutions to these conflict trends? What current innovation in peacebuilding practice can these solutions build on? What do different actors need to do now to strengthen peacebuilding practice in the future? These questions frame this year’s Annual Meeting of the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform. They underscore the urgency to prepare better responses for a new strategic landscape of conflict. The Annual Meeting also builds on several UN reviews – including on women, peace and security, on peace operations and on peacebuilding – as well as the UN’s new Sustainable Development Agenda. As the international community shifts gear from review to implementation, the Annual Meeting underscores the strategic opportunities of peacebuilding practice to strengthen development and security agendas.
