STOCKHOLM - The ninth annual Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development will be convened by SIPRI in a hybrid format on 23–25 May 2022.

The forum will be under the theme ‘From a Human Security Crisis Towards an Environment of Peace’.

This year’s Forum will explore solutions and ways to address human security challenges in the light of environmental degradation and climate change.

Recent floods, forest fires and droughts—and their association with human-induced global warming—suggest that human security can no longer be guaranteed by tweaking the margins of existing solutions.

Against the backdrop of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and at the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Stockholm Forum will address how to enable an environment of peace: what needs to change within the economy, institutions, governments, organizations, companies and societies to sustain the natural environment, biodiversity, human progress and peace according to the goals set out in Agenda 2030?
