Associated Events
The Path to Ottawa features a range of regional, national, and thematic events on environmental peacebuilding.
Associated events are being held between June 2025 and March 2026. These events build momentum for the Conference by highlighting themes for consideration at the Conference, identifying promising insights in the field, and/or identifying leaders in the field who can elevate and diversify the Conference. Events are developed, organized, and put on by the host institutions with support from the Environmental Peacebuilding Association® (also known as EnPAx®) and partners.
Information on proposing an event for the Path to Ottawa is available here. The application form for proposed events is here. Post- event recordings will be posted on event's pages when available.
