Das Konsortium Ziviler Friedensdienst (ZFD) fordert die neue Bundesregierung dazu auf, bewährte Programme der Krisenprävention, Konfliktbearbeitung und Friedensförderung zu stärken und auszubauen.

Frieden, Stabilität und Menschliche Sicherheit sind weltweit zunehmend in Gefahr. Gerade in diesen Zeiten ist es wichtiger denn je, auf die Stärken in der Zivilen Konfliktbearbeitung aufzubauen. Das deutsche Grundgesetz enthält die klare Verpflichtung: dem Frieden in der Welt dienen. Der seit 25 Jahren bestehende Zivile Friedensdienst ist ein wirkungsvolles Beispiel dafür. Die neue Bundesregierung muss gerade jetzt solche Programme weiterentwickeln und stärken.

Sicherheit benötigt Frieden: “Krisenprävention, Zivile Konfliktbearbeitung und Friedensförderung bieten Antworten, die Verteidigungsfähigkeit nicht geben kann.”

Die vollständigen Empfehlungen können auf der Webseite des Konsortiums Ziviler Friedensdienst nachgelesen 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.
