The Path to Ottawa

In the lead-up to the Fourth International Conference on Environmental Peacebuilding–taking place in June 2026 in Ottawa, Canada–the Environmental Peacebuilding Association® (EnPAx®) and Conference partners are hosting the Path to Ottawa, a global, consultative series of events and initiatives. 

This initiative will feature regional, national, and thematic events hosted by institutions around the world, designed to engage diverse communities on environmental peacebuilding issues relevant to their communities and contexts. Events are expected to occur between June 2025 and March 2026.

Institutions interested in hosting or convening an event as part of the Path to Ottawa are encouraged to apply via this form. The form also provides more information regarding event criteria, application guidelines, and timelines.

Information sessions were held online on 2 June to provide a detailed explanation of the Path to Ottawa, review the proposal process, and answer questions. You can watch the recordings of both sessions 1 and 2 on the EnPAx YouTube page.

In addition, the Path to Ottawa will involve a series of flagship initiatives—developed by the Association and partners—to showcase at the conference. More information on these initiatives and how to propose them will be made available here in due course.
