Description

In 2024, global security is expected to worsen, with conflicts and instability on the rise. Data reveals that around 600 million women—15% of the world's female population—lived near armed conflict in 2022, more than double the 1990s levels. Women are pivotal in addressing these challenges; peace processes that include women are more resilient, and gender-equal societies are less prone to conflict. Women leaders are advancing crucial peacebuilding efforts at all levels. The Rising Talents initiative by the Women’s Forum shines a spotlight on these pioneering women leaders in climate sustainability, peace, and security. Join us to explore how these Rising Talents are driving a climate-just transition and fostering peace in an increasingly volatile world.
