Geneva Peace Week 2018

5-9 November

This year, Geneva Peace Week emphasizes the urgency of finding peaceful solutions for the growing risks of violent conflict, building on the lessons from history and the needs for future peace-building practice.

Collective security and peace practice represent a rich tapestry of challenges and achievements, as well as devastating failures. Geneva Peace Week reflects on the lessons of a century of liberal internationalism in the service of peace and focuses on the roles that every person, actor and institution can play in building peace and resolving conflict. Awareness of the potentials and pitfalls of these roles is ever more important to build and sustain peace in a turbulent world and to broker the partnerships necessary to address them.

The Global Goals have been introduced to the world.  A 17-point plan to end poverty, halt climate change and fight injustice and inequality.  The Global Goals are the biggest attempt in the history of the human race to make the world a better place.
