📸 Throwback to the #PPF22 🌍 Eastern European countries have this year been at the fore front of the conflict in Ukraine. This conflict has amplified the consequences of already complex crises, ranging from the pandemic that started in 2020, to population displacements, economic slowdowns as well as political instability. 🎙️ The region has been in the position of first responder to immediate consequences of the conflict - sudden influx of refugees to absorb, strategic energy dependencies and security threats at their border to face… - which directly impact their populations. This panel discussion focused on ways to strengthen the resilience of Eastern European countries, with regards to populations and civil society. With the participation of: ✔️ Edi Rama, Prime Minister, Republic of Albania 🇦🇱 ✔️ Dritan Abazović, Prime Minister, Montenegro 🇲🇪 ✔️ Alex Soros, Deputy Chairman, @opensocietyfoundations ✔️ Marie Dumoulin, Director, Wider Europe programme, European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) ✔️ Nora Müller, Executive Director for International Affairs, @koerberstiftung

📸 Throwback to the #PPF22 🏛️ Culture is a driver of both development and peace: safeguarding the world’s heritage is key to societies’ memories and stability over a long-time scale and having the freedom of imagining tomorrow’s world remains one of the foundations of open societies. People and societies have never been so interconnected due to globalization, migration flows and communications technology, yet this does not mean that societies are culturally converging everywhere. On the contrary, according to UNESCO, culture has increasingly been instrumentalized as a tool for division during conflicts, especially during the past two decades. 🎙️ Last September, 150 states adopted at MONDIACULT 2022 a historic declaration affirming culture as a “global public good” and agreed on a common roadmap to strengthen public cultural policies in this field. Building on this momentum, this session explored how stakeholders can amplify actions and give cultural policy the place it deserves in international cooperation to boost its role of driving factor of peace and social cohesion.

📸 Throwback to the #PPF22 ⚡️🌏 2022 has been a sobering year across the globe with the still ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the increasingly devastating effects of climate change and systemic inequalities in resources worldwide, all exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The fallout from this war in an atmosphere of already tense geopolitical crisis, is contributing to increasing food and energy insecurity, soaring inflation, subsequent socio-economic crises and high debt, placing additional burdens on the most vulnerable populations. 🎙️ According to the UN, an estimated 1.6 billion people are exposed to at least one dimension of the multicrisis. International emergency responses only provide a temporary relief and are insufficient if we are to achieve the world with “no one left behind” defined by the SDGs. This session explored ways to mobilize around a broader recovery agenda and multilateral and sustainable solutions to reduce the crisis impact on populations’ lives and livelihoods.

📸 Throwback to the #PPF22 🌎⚡️ In an era of emergency and uncertainty, the world is going through compounded and multifold crises, from worsening climate change, successive Covid-19 waves, deepening inequalities to new and lasting geopolitical conflicts of global consequences. The fight against global warming, race to reach the SDGs, efforts to strengthen health systems, economic cooperation as well as the common custody of global public goods or global commons had already taken a serious hit during the pandemic. This year, much of the world has also been affected by the fallout of the conflict in Ukraine, from the dramatic humanitarian crisis to surging inflation, grave food and energy insecurity worldwide, as well as economic and political disruptions. 🎙️ This session featured a high-level discussion on immediate priorities to mitigate the multiple shocks and socio-economic aftermath of these crises and their ongoing consequences, and longer-term goals to foster a renewed cooperative world order and more effective global governance, capable of anticipating and facing future crises.

📸 Throwback to the #PPF22 The war in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 is jolting the foundations of our #multilateral system. It opens a breach in the post-World War II peace and #security architecture based on rules common to all countries. The very notion of #universalism is being put to test by a growing skepticism as to agreeing on shared principles and values, making the world more chaotic and international #cooperation on major global issues more difficult. This geopolitical divide is coming after a #pandemic that has considerably increased global #inequalities. A new dialogue between the continents is needed. It should be based on recognizing differences in a multipolar world while deepening the authority of international law and guaranteeing the foundations of #peace. 🕊️ 🎙️ This high-level session between key global leaders and thinkers from the global North and the global South forged this new dialogue. It was an opportunity to confront visions on the meaning of this #war in a forthright way, and to open up new paths on which we can hope to build a more peaceful and cooperative future.
