For the first time since 2017, the U.S. Government missed its legal reporting deadline under the Women, Peace, and Security Act. Congress must act to ensure oversight and accountability for the implementation of #WomenPeaceandSecurity.

If #ClimateAction ignores conflict and peace, fails to reflect the reality of fragile and conflict-affected contexts, and is not embedded in climate justice, it risks falling short of global objectives and failing those who are the worst affected by climate change.

At #COP30, peace is missing from the agenda at a time when peace and climate action are needed more than ever. Fragile and conflict-affected contexts are still being left behind and frontline voices sidelined. #Peace and justice are fundamental to effective #ClimateAction.

“Often, it’s the stories we can’t tell that are the most inspiring, and the work we can’t talk about that makes the biggest impact,” writes Saferworld’s Abigail Connolly.

Peace is a time when survivors find justice, perpetrators are held accountable & no one is silenced for speaking the truth. This #InternationalPeaceDay, we honour those who embody this every day–activists, youth, women’s groups, and communities who resist violence & sow hope for a different future.

On this #InternationalPeaceDay, we are reminded that peace is not passive. It is resistance, action and hope. As one of our partners said, “Peace is achieved when people's needs are met: health, education, clean water, aid, livelihood, shelter & services.”
