Online Event “Breaking the vicious cycle”

How can anti-corruption measures be integrated in peace processes?

The Berghof Foundation is launching the publication “Breaking the vicious cycle: Entry points for anti-corruption in inclusive peace processes” co-authored together with U4 Anti Corruption Resource Center and Ulrike Hopp Nishanka. Peacebuilding and anti-corruption practitioners are invited to a discussion in the quest for ending the destructive cycle of corruption and conflict.

Corruption and violent conflict are interlinked in deep and complex ways. In this online panel discussion, we talk about why conflict transformation needs to contain an understanding of the political economy of violent conflict and corruption. How can peacebuilders identify ways to reduce corruption’s long-term impact on the inclusivity and sustainability of the peace process. What are ways to prioritise the aspects of corruption for state legitimacy, trust between communities, and trust in institutions? And how could peacebuilders support political efforts to curb corruption and promote accountability during transitions from war to peace?

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.
