Nuclear weapons policies and climate change continue to pose existential threats to current and future generations, threatening catastrophic humanitarian, economic, and environmental consequences. What national and international policies can address jointly appearing issues of climate change and militarism? How can the interests of global youth be included in policy decisions on these issues? Can the new UN Envoy on Future Generations make a difference? And what impact can the International Court of Justice have in its current cases on genocide, armed conflict and climate change, the latter case being led by youth?
The Basel Intergenerational Forum on Peace, Climate and Disarmament will bring together policymakers, youth activists and professionals to discuss these questions and international initiatives that might provide solutions for a sustainable future.
Then, the following day, the 9th edition of the Basel Peace Forum will take place on Thursday, 23 January 2025, in Basel, Switzerland. The hybrid program promises a variety of activities, including panel discussions, debates, and creative workshops, all designed to inspire and foster the exchange of innovative ideas among participants from around the world.
