The Peace@COP28 community identified two goals, in early 2023, to serve as our North Star as we approach COP28: to raise awareness and mainstream peace and conflict sensitivity into the COP conversation, and to do it in a way that busts silos and convenes a diverse group by discipline, geography, language, and more.
The Peace@COP28 community identified two goals, in early 2023, to serve as our North Star as we approach COP28: to raise awareness and mainstream peace and conflict sensitivity into the COP conversation, and to do it in a way that busts silos and convenes a diverse group by discipline, geography, language, and more.
Specifically, we can:
- Monitor the negotiations closely and issue a response to COP28, setting an agenda for the year to come.
- Capitalise on existing platforms, like the Environmental Peacebuilding Association, the Community of Practice on Environment, Climate, Conflict, and Peace, amongst others around the globe, to come together and deliberate on peace responsive and conflict sensitive action points from one COP to the next.
- Produce policy briefs and mobilise dissemination platforms to keep the momentum of the peace discussions towards preparation for COP29.
