COP30 - Water for Climate Pavilion - Exposé on Peace Initiatives and alignment on peace discussions at COP29

Over the past five years, crucial steps have been made towards water, climate and peace. The Climate CoPs have been catalysts of new initiatives and declarations. While peace has dropped off the agenda of the CoP30, the session will take stock of past initiatives, their progress and the way forward.
