This #EarthDay, we reflect not only on #ClimateAction, but on how it is implemented.

Effective responses to #ClimateChange require cross-sector collaboration, yet efforts often remain siloed.

@FTIKG shares 3 ways #LocalPeacebuilders can start working with #EnvironmentalExperts.

Every year, #NARPI hosts a Summer #Peacebuilding Training in August, providing a selection of different courses and a field trip ⬇️

#Lebanon must not bear the cost of regional conflicts or be subjected to any form of collective punishment.

#Israel’s large-scale hostilities may constitute #WarCrimes and require urgent international #accountability.

Military escalation in #MiddleEast threatens to push the region into unprecedented phase of armed #violence and #instability.

@menappac expresses deep concern over the crisis & calls for adherence to #InternationalLaw and renewed #diplomatic efforts⬇️https://t.co/Iqre0ge3UE

#ConflictPrevention is long-horizon endeavour. That's where GPPAC members make a difference. They're active before, during & after #conflict & bring #LocalKnowledge & trusted relationships across conflict lines. They can do what many other actors cannot📬https://t.co/1dKNlpDtTh

GPPAC expresses concern at the armed conflict involving the #UnitedStates, #Israel, and #Iran, and the violations of international law. We condemn the use of violence and call for an end to the armed conflict.

[GPPAC Peacebuilders @GPPAC]

In #SouthSudan, local #peacebuilders are often seen as less influential, despite ‘inclusive national ownership’ & not ‘national ownership’ underpinning #SustainingPeace➡️#SSTC should support diverse local peacebuilders incl. women & youth, as critical #peacebuilding stakeholders.

[GPPAC Peacebuilders @GPPAC]

#PBC briefing: Encourage the #PBF to fund more projects focused on knowledge exchange & co-creation by diverse #LocalPeacebuilders.

Local communities need space to co-design their own projects & not be implementers of projects already designed by #UN entities receiving grants.

[GPPAC Peacebuilders @GPPAC]

Edmund Yakani, GPPAC member @ceposouthsudan1 briefed #PBC on how South-South & Triangular Cooperation #SSTC = real opportunity to shift decision-making power to national & local actors, advancing #peace & stability in #SouthSudan. His full statement here 🔗https://t.co/dCkBZk9C6y

[GPPAC Peacebuilders @GPPAC]

#PBC briefing: Many #peacebuilding projects in #SouthSudan include local participation but not local ownership. National ownership would mean that programming supported by the #PBF is a part of inclusive national vision of peacebuilding.

[GPPAC Peacebuilders @GPPAC]

#PBC briefing: If political will for #NationalPreventionStrategies should come from within, why are most discussions happening at global level?🔁Shift conversations to national & regional levels, allowing capital experts & #LocalPeacebuilders to co-design & co-own the concept.

[GPPAC Peacebuilders @GPPAC]

#PBC briefing: #Localisation should be seen as a process in which countries and the people in the Global South analyse and determine solutions based on learning ‘from within’ and from their brothers and sisters around the world.

The 🇺🇳Charter states that it is ‘the peoples’ who have established the #UN, and therefore, they should have a say in how it should be reformed.

To bring the voices of the people into the conversation, we asked #LocalPeacebuilders about #UN80 🔗 https://t.co/qFFghPkaW6

What’s missing in multilateral responses to crises?
🔹 Clarity of roles
🔹 Safe spaces for inclusive dialogue
🔹 Flexible funding
🔹 Recognition of local expertise
At #SIPRIForum, we’re naming gaps and amplifying the strategies women #peacebuilders use to fill them.
