SIPRI is proud to host the 2022 Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development on the theme ‘From a Human Security Crisis Towards an Environment of Peace’.

This year’s Forum will explore ways to enable an environment of peace in the face of converging crises. Against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the Forum will discuss long-term global challenges in the midst of the immediate security crisis. What needs to change within the economy, institutions, governments, organizations, companies and societies to sustain the natural environment, biodiversity and human progress while sustaining peace and security according to the goals set out in Agenda 2030?

For each of the days of the 2022 Stockholm Forum, the format will combine open high-level policy debates with invitation-only sessions, roundtables, workshops, debates, fireside chats and spotlight presentations. The Forum will work with partners to foster open exchange with the wider peacebuilding community through in person and online sessions. The 2022 Forum will be held in a hybrid format, with sessions held online and in person at Münchenbryggeriet, Stockholm.

On 23 May, as part of the forum, EPLO is organising an online event entitled “The European Union, climate change and conflict: Conflict sensitivity as an entry point for integrated engagement”. The session will explore and promote the importance of conflict sensitivity for the European Union (EU) and civil society organisations to address the challenges posed by the interlinkages between climate change and conflict in an integrated manner.
