Local Solutions towards Peaceful Coexistence in forced displacement Context in Mena and Asia Regions

UNHCR and the UN University for Peace, in partnership with Geneva Peacebuilding Platform, will convene a dialogue as part of `Local Solutions for Peaceful Coexistence` stocktaking regional consultation series, focusing on Asia and the Middle East & North Africa regions, taking place on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, from 11h00 to 13h00 in Room VIII at the Palais des Nations. The event aims to spotlight the critical role of refugee, women and youth led organisations and other local actors, including religious leaders, civil society, academicians, in advancing peacebuilding, reconciliation, and social cohesion.

Grounded in the Global Compact on Refugees, the dialogue promotes a whole-of-society approach to addressing root causes of displacement and fostering comprehensive solutions. Insights from this regional dialogue series will be captured in a publication to be launched at the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review.
