In the 23rd year since the adoption of UN resolution 1325, governments, international organisations, and civil society groups worldwide are making efforts to integrate gender considerations into the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) framework. However, the unique needs and perspectives of the LGBTQI+ community have often been overlooked.

In collaboration with the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP), Berghof Foundation has created a guidebook to assist civil society representatives and policy practitioners in better acknowledging the lived experiences of LGBTQI+ individuals.

The guidebook is available for free on the Website of Berghof Foundation.

You can also access a complementary 1.5-hour e-learning programme named “LGBTQI+ Perspectives in Women, Peace, and Security” on atingi – a free learning platform designed to provide online learning offers specifically for the context of emerging markets.

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.
