Geneva Policy Outlook

Yesterday, the Geneva Policy Outlook had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Matthew Graviss, Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Officer of the U.S. Department of State, at the Geneva Graduate Institute for an insightful discussion on how the United States has been leveraging artificial intelligence and technology as a diplomatic tool and what it means for the multilateralism of the future and the International Geneva ecosystem.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful discussion!

The Junior Diplomat Initiative at Geneva Graduate Institute is excited to announce its event on The Intersection of Private and Institutional Peace Mediation!🌟Join us at the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) for an insightful discussion! 🤝 As nations face challenges from non-state actors like terrorists or rebel groups, negotiations remain essential for conflict prevention and resolution. In situations where states are restricted in communication due to the pariah status of certain actors or to geopolitical polarization, private diplomacy institutes like the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) can step in as impartial mediators focused solely on conflict resolution. Let’s discuss the intersection of private and institutional peace mediation! Our discussion will be led by Alexandre Liebeskind (Africa Regional Director, Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD)), and Emilian Berutti (Academic Coordinator, Geneva Policy Outlook). Registration is not mandatory, but please arrive before 5pm (official start time). #juniordiplomatinitiative #privatediplomacy #institutionaldiplomacy #genevagraduateinstitute

Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting Melissa Fleming at the Geneva Graduate Institute for an insightful discussion on how the UN Global Principles for Information Integrity can lay the groundwork for a safer, more humane information ecosystem—and the important role that International Geneva’s community can play in supporting this vision. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful exchange! #InformationIntegrity #UN #InternationalGeneva #GlobalCollaboration

Glad we could publish this conversation with Prof. Achim Wennmann of Geneva Graduate Institute and Geneva Policy Outlook - a great partner in #InternationalGeneva.

Very interesting lunch discussion with Hugo Slim earlier this week, about the substance of his new book “#Humanitarianism 2.0: New #Ethics for the #ClimateEmergency” Recognizing the impracticability of separating human beings from nature in the context of the accelerating global #climatecrisis, he propounds the need for an expansion of the focus on ‘humanity’ to encompass the protection of nature (a ‘landscape’ or ‘ecosystem’ approach). Arguably somewhat at odds with some of his previous work highlighting the need for humanitarian prioritization in view of increasing needs and declining resources, the core argument is inescapable and profound. And it resonates closely with the World Council of Churches’ concept of ‘The #LivingPlanet’. Thanks to Geneva Policy Outlook for convening us.

Yesterday, the Geneva Graduate Institute hosted a vital discussion on how the humanitarian sector must adapt to climate change's growing demands. Oxford's Hugo Slim emphasised the need for a new framework to handle this prolonged emergency, followed by insights from: - Aida Mengistu, IASC Peer-2-Peer Support - Sandeep Sengupta, IUCN & Geneva Graduate Institute Lecturer - Jenifer Vaughan (Moderator), UN Special Envoy Spokesperson With Achim Wennmann introducing, this event, in partnership with Geneva Policy Outlook, highlighted the urgent need for ethical and resilient humanitarian action in today’s climate reality. #HumanitarianAid #ClimateCrisis
