Please note that the event was broadcast in native language. An English-language version will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n

The eight pillars identified in the 1999 Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace echo today\u2019s priorities set by the Secretary-General and the President of the General Assembly. The event on September 7th at IPI explored the connections among culture, peace, security, and development, focusing specifically on the connections between the culture of peace, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the 2016 resolutions on sustaining peace.<\/p>\n

As there is significant overlap between the Sustainable Development Goals and the eight pillars, it is important to reflect on the ways sustainable development can be integrated into the culture of peace. Similarly, it is critical to consider ways to strengthen the structures, attitudes, and behaviors that both foster a culture of peace and sustain it. This event provided an opportunity to discuss the links among the three agendas, exploring the opportunities, risks, and best strategies moving forward.<\/p>\n
