This year we are honoured to have Christiana Figueres speak on ‘Hammarskjöld Today: His Legacy on Environmental Issues’. During her tenure at the UNFCCC, Ms. Figueres brought together national and sub-national governments, corporations and activists, financial institutions and NGOs to jointly deliver the historic Paris Agreement on climate change, in which 195 sovereign nations agreed on a collaborative path forward to limit future global warming to well below 2°C, and strive for 1.5°C in order to protect the most vulnerable. For this achievement Ms. Figueres has been credited with forging a new brand of collaborative diplomacy, for which she has received multiple awards.

Being a marine biologist Carson (1907-1964) had observed the impact, for instance, chemicals like DDT on wild-life. Her documentation of these effects helped to galvanize public action, led to a questioning of human domination of the planet’s resources and resulted in debates on appropriate policies that still are ongoing. In this session we will discuss Carson’s arguments, their precedents and continued importance.

Frågor riktas till: mobility@uu.se 2017-11-02 12:03 Towards a More Peaceful World? Welcome to a discussion between Nils Petter Gleditsch (Research Professor at Peace Research Institute Oslo), Håvard Hegre (Dag Hammarskjöld Professor), and Margareta Sollenberg (Researcher at the Uppsala Conflict Data Program). Johan Brosché (Researcher at Department of Peace and Conflict Research) will moderate the discussion. Where: Hall 4573, Östra Ågatan 19 When: 8 November, 17-18:30 Are we moving towards a more peaceful world? The question might seem naive. The daily news picture informs us of wars and terror incidents around the world. But the larger armed conflicts are limited to a small number of countries and the increased attention to them is in itself a sign that violence can no longer be swept under the rug. The probability of being killed in war or genocide has decreased remarkably in recent decades. In his recently published book Mot en mer fredelig verden? [Towards a More Peaceful World?] veteran peace researcher Nils Petter Gleditsch provides an overview of the development of the international conflict map. He argues that violence is slowly becoming outdated as a tool in conflicts, internal as well as international and paints a hopeful picture of what he calls a social democratic peace, built on democracy, international cooperation, economic integration, and social and economic non-discrimination. The book discusses several caveats to the author’s optimistic view of the future. The emerging peace may be broken by the emergence of new major power conflicts, stronger religious clashes, increased inequalities, or climate change and other environmental hazards. All these challenges must be taken seriously, but they are nevertheless unlikely to reverse the trend towards more peaceful relations in the long run.
