Paris Peace Forum

Initiated by the French President Emanuel Macron, the Paris Peace Forum is concerned with the mechanisms and instruments that create and sustain peace. In innovative conference formats, Heads of State and Government, representatives of international organisations and members of the civil society (associations, NGOs, think tanks, media, companies etc.) discuss concrete projects, present initiatives and jointly seek feasible solutions. The debates focus on issues such as peace and security, environment, development, new technologies, and the inclusive economy. Following the event, a report presenting recommendations from the different sessions shall be produced, aiming at directly influencing policy making. In doing so, the forum seeks to reinforce international cooperation, multilateralism, and – above all – global governance.

The Körber Foundation is a Founding Member of the Paris Peace Forum, which is implemented by an association under French law (association loi de 1901). The other members are the French Foreign Ministry, the Institut français des relations internationales (IFRI), the Institut Montaigne, the Fondation nationale des sciences politiques (SciencesPo) and the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. In collaboration with a General Secretariat based in Paris, the Founding Members are responsible for the conception, organization, and implementation of the conference.
