GPW meets New York

Geneva Peace Week Meets New York was a 1.5-day event at IPI, bringing together peacebuilders from Geneva, New York, and the field to discuss challenges to building sustainable peace. As part of preparations for the 2024 Summit of the Future and the 2025 Review of the Peacebuilding Architecture, the event explored proposals for a New Agenda for Peace and generated ideas for its implementation. Drawing on insights from the 10th Annual Geneva Peace Week (30 October–3 November 2023) and the ministerial meeting on the Summit of the Future during High-Level Week in September, the event revolved around the theme, ‘Building Trust, Building Peace.’ Discussions focused on revitalizing prevention and key workstreams from the New Agenda for Peace policy brief, including: Global-level prevention: addressing strategic risks, geopolitical divisions, and arms control; Conflict prevention and sustaining peace: strengthening human rights, the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, and tackling climate-security risks; New peace approaches: addressing emerging threats, including AI, cyber, and LAWS, and promoting responsible innovation. The event was organized by the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform and the International Peace Institute, with support from the Swiss FDFA.
