Over the past decade, progress in science, technology, and economic development have greatly benefitted peacebuilding work. Nevertheless, our world remains fragile; plagued by internal violence and armed conflicts of far reaching geopolitical dimensions, increasing its fragmentation and polarisation. Urgent issues such as climate change and disruptive technologies add to our global complexity. As we strive to navigate these challenges, it is crucial to restore trust and faith in our institutions and, most importantly, in each other. Join us at the Opening Ceremony of the 10-year anniversary of the Geneva Peace Week “Building Trust, Building Peace: An Agenda for the Future” and immerse yourself in mesmerising discussions and artistic performances that echo the unity we strive for. Together let’s celebrate the start of a week full of fresh insights, concrete and bold recommendations!
