Ko globalne razmere postavljajo nova vprašanja o vlogi mednarodne razvojne pomoči, je ključno razmisliti, kaj te aktivnosti pomenijo za Slovenijo in njen položaj v svetovni skupnosti. Panel bo obravnaval strateški pomen razvojnih projektov za Slovenijo, ki prispevajo k stabilizaciji in razvoju ciljnih držav in regij, krepitvi dvostranskih odnosov in ustvarjanju priložnosti za slovensko gospodarstvo.

Razprava bo osvetlila koristi razvojne pomoči za Slovenijo, vključno z izboljšano globalno varnostjo in večanjem mednarodnega ugleda naše države. Poleg tega bo izpostavljen pomen vključevanja zasebnega sektorja, sodelovanja Slovenije z mednarodnimi partnerji ter ozaveščanja javnosti o pomenu mednarodnega razvojnega sodelovanja.

Throughout the training, participants engaged in dynamic discussions and gained practical insights into the role of environmental factors in preventing conflicts and promoting sustainable peace. The program focused on key topics, including environmental governance, natural resource management in conflict-affected areas, and the importance of integrating environmental considerations into peace processes.

The training also aligned with Slovenia’s priorities in the United Nations Security Council, where the country emphasises the importance of environmental issues in global peace and security efforts. By building capacity in environmental peacebuilding, this initiative strengthens the ability of stakeholders to navigate the complexities of environmental challenges in fragile contexts, contributing to long-term peace.

We would like to thank all the participants and partners for making this training a success and above all the excellent speakers: Dr. Mara Tignino of the Geneva Water Hub, Ambassador at Large for Water Diplomacy Tanja Miškova, Faculty of Law Professor and Member of the UN Human Rights Council Advisory Committee Vasilka Sancin, Director of International Programs at the Environmental Law Institute Carl Bruch, Senior Policy Adviser at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Stephen Robinson, Conflict Sensitivity Lead at the PeaceNexus Foundation Heloise Heyer, Former President of the Republic of Slovenia and Chair of the Global High Level Panel on Water and Peace Professor Danilo Türk, and Dr Caroline Pellaton and Dr Tadesse Kebebew of the Geneva Water Hub. Their contributions were instrumental in fostering an enriching learning environment and advancing the agenda of environmental peacebuilding.

We are confident that this training will help mainstream environmental issues in the peacebuilding arena, and we look forward to future collaboration with our partners to continue advancing this important work.
