Replay: via this link Registration is free

With every day that passes we see how tension and conflicts are on the rise. Yet what people really want is peace. Peace, not as absence of war, but as the harmony that comes from within when given a chance. At a time when investing in fossil fuels looks like a short-term idea, and property might hit a bubble, and with corporate profits that have been steadily falling since after WWII, we need to ask ourselves: can we invest in peace instead? Can we invest in removing suffering and create a good life for all even as we adapt to living with less money and cheap fossil fuel? This webinar presents the ideas behind Invest in Peace and explains, with examples of pioneering initiatives, how this new paradigm is emerging.

THIS WEBINAR IS FOR:

Those who share a personal engagement in promoting peace looking to explore personal development, business and policy opportunities.

SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

Stephen Hinton, Co-Founder Invest in Peace
Peter Boiu, Co-Founder Invest in Peace
Rishabh Khanna, Co-Founder Invest in Peace

TOPICS:

Peace as the human project
The basics conditions for peace: a safe dignified house for humanity

Leading initiatives

Conference Speaker Sofia Faruqi co-authors Working Paper on attracting investment to restoring land

admin — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 20:37:30 +0000

Published in February 2017, a new working paper from Conference 2017 speaker SOFIA FARUQI AND FLORENCE LANDSBERG at the World Resources Institute gathers knowledge on how land restorers can attract finance for their project.

Restoring land can be a precursor to peace, creating livelihoods and community stability. The working paper is well-structured and detailed and comes with several illustrative examples of successful approaches.

Illustration from WPRI’s Working Paper “Attracting Private Investment to Landscape Restoration: A Roadmap”.

Conference input: the Davos dialogue on Investing in Peace

admin — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 20:30:40 +0000

In this discussion, led by Mercy Corps CEO Neal Keny-Guyer, participants discuss if businesses should invest in conflict-prone areas, with all the attendant risks and uncertainties? When they do so, can they be a force for good? And, if they are, what are the ways to get more businesses to invest in fragile areas that can use the resultant job creation and economic stimulus to foster peace?

The discussion covers the importance of food, policy, the role of private organisations and the role of social enterprises among other things. Many of these aspects to investment will no doubt arise in the Invest in Peace conference in Caux in 2017.
