Congratulations to Bled Strategic Forum and Slovenia for global leadership in advancing #water diplomacy. As the gap widens between water needs & its availability, there are ever-more pressing conflict risks & therefore needs for civil paths to peace. Slovenia to the UN Slovenia to UN Geneva

Money being used for #watercrisis management & #ClimateCrisis is deeply problematic. Most of the investment is not even conflict sensitive let alone peace enhancing. @InterpeaceTweet is finding ways to tackle that with Finance for Peace & CGIAR.

"...80% of food crises are driven by war. However, we need to remain hopeful: the climate-security nexus is at the forefront of the agenda, which #Slovenia will address as a member of the UN Security Council in 2024-25." Renee Lariviere #BSF2023

Great political dialogue today between MFEA Slovenia & @InterpeaceTweet. As strategic partners, we are committed to supporting #Slovenia to advance shared priority concerns & #Peace at the #UNSC. Slovenia to the UN Slovenia to UN Geneva

#Germany leading & achieving global #peacebuilding impact. A pleasure to meet Ambassador Potzel 🇩🇪 GER on Peace & Humanitarian Action. From rethinking #stabilisation to innovative finance for #peace, to early warning & action in #Kenya. @InterpeaceTweet & Finance for Peace grateful to GermanForeignOffice

In all the enthusiasm and positivity of #PeaceDay 2023, the Peace Talks offer inspiring #actionsforpeace including voices of #YouthEmpowerment. It's a great example of #peacebuilding collaboration, thanks to United Nations Geneva, @GPPlatform, Mirabaud AM & Swiss Peace and Human Rights Swiss MFA

Big problem with climate finance: most is exacerbating #conflict rather than advancing #peace. Only 4% of $28b climate funding from 22 multilateral funds is "conflict sensitive". CGIAR has great research with Finance for Peace @InterpeaceTweet #ACS23. Crisis Group spot on.

South Sudanese humanitarian, Maiwen Ngalueth, will join us at the #GVAPeaceTalks. He's the Regional Program Coordinator for East Africa Geneva Call & is co-founder of multiple NGOs that seek to promote dialogue & refugee participation. Register to attend 👇 peacetalks.net/pt/gvapeacetal…

There is now a clear & innovative pathway to obtain new scaled-up finance for #Peace & #peacebuilding.

Advancing #GenderEquality in these values-challenged times requires adaptation: rather than pushing for « women’s rights », push to make visible the invisible no matter who they are. See @InterpeaceTweet with Elhadj As Sy in the latest KOFF. bit.ly/45WkTS2

Highlight of this week: #PeaceDay on Sept 21 will include #GVAPeaceTalks in United Nations Geneva. Testimonies from 7 remarkable people about their practical actions for #peace.

In the words of António Guterres: "Inspiring force of progress for #peacebuilding". The Peace Talks are a global good with a bright future. Deep thanks to those who contribute personally to #peace & United Nations Geneva, Swiss MFA, @GPPlatform @PeaceTalksTweet. interpeace.org/2023/09/un-sec…

New face, ideas & energy in global leadership of #peace #peacebuilding #EverydayPeacebuilding. New momentum & substance ahead across the #HDPNexus working with others to empower localised conflict resolution & to accelerate #SDGs. (Thanks to Perrett Laver for exec search.)

New funding for #peacebuilding: launch of InTeRpEaCe collaboration with African Development Bank Group through Finance for Peace offers WIN-WIN of lower risk + better investor returns combined with more #peace + progress on #SDGs. Thanks GermanForeignOffice Elhadj As Sy 🇩🇪 GER on Peace & Humanitarian Action

"I am inspired by Interpeace and its nearly three decades of history & practice in the field of peacebuilding". Itonde Kakoma-Itonde Kakoma, @InterpeaceTweet's new President, shares his drive for leading our organisation at a time of tremendous change on the international stage.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the former President of Finland and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari, who was also the Chair of Interpeace’s Governing Board from May 2000 through December 2009. bit.ly/3rS1D9W
