Peace is a dynamic, ongoing process that enhances wellbeing and advances personal, social, and sustainable development. For many societies however, peace remains elusive. The aim of the Sustaining Peace Forum is to bring together thought leaders to discuss from their perspective the types of strategies, tools, and policies that can help to address complex challenges in order to bring about or sustain peace.
The Forum will include distinguished speakers, panel discussions, a research showcase, and multiple networking opportunities.
