Die Gemeinsame Konferenz Kirche und Entwicklung (GKKE) hat einen Beitrag zur Auswertung des deutschen Einsatzes in Afghanistan veröffentlicht. Unter dem Titel „Ehrlichkeit ist das Gebot der Stunde“ reflektiert dieser ökumenische Zusammenschluss der großen Kirchen in Deutschland den Afghanistan-Einsatz in seiner Gesamtheit sowie die eigene Rolle darin.

Die GKKE kommt unter anderem zu dem Schluss, dass eine umfassende Wirkungsevaluation des deutschen Einsatzes in Afghanistan nicht stattgefunden hat. Dies hat rechtzeitige Kurskorrekturen verhindert und letztendlich zum strategischen Scheitern des Einsatzes beigetragen. Die GKKE betont die Bedeutung ehrlicher Evaluation für zukünftige Unternehmungen. Zudem hebt sie die individuelle Leistung der Menschen hervor, die in derartige Auslandseinsätze entsandt werden, und erinnert an die Verantwortung, die eine demokratische Gesellschaft für die fortwährende Begleitung dieser Kräfte trägt.

Der vollständige Beitrag kann auf der Webseite der GKKE abgerufen werden.

From Ambition to Inaction: Climate Talks Struggle to Deliver Implementation

The intersessional climate negotiations (SB64) in Bonn concluded with sobering results. Climate justice was a central theme in many discussions and rounds of negotiations, but issues surrounding climate finance prevented an agreement from being reached. Negotiations on the global adaptation target, for example, must start again from scratch. The nexus of climate, peace and security was largely overlooked in the negotiations, as well as in the action agenda presented by the Turkish COP31 Presidency.
