Join Berghof Foundation’s online event on 1 December 2023 to find out more about the importance of women mediator networks and the challenges they face.

Considerable progress has been made in involving women in peace processes since the adoption of the United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security more than twenty years ago. But women are still significantly underrepresented in formal mediation processes. In an effort to address this issue, a number of countries, regional organisations and civil society institutions established women mediator networks in recent years.

Together with representatives of different women mediator networks, Berghof Foundation will explore the added-value of having such networks. In this event, the participants will identify their common goals and approaches but also highlight the differences that make each of these networks unique. They will also jointly discuss the effectiveness of their approach as well as the challenges they face in their daily work.

Registration details and more information are available on the website of Berghof Foundation.

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.
