🇺🇳 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 🇪🇺 Truly a pleasure to be invited as a guest speaker at the United Nations in Geneva on behalf of Circle of Sustainable Europe (CoSE). 💡 The discussion was about how Sustainable Development, Digital Communications and Civic Participation play a crucial role in preventing and rebuilding wars and conflicts by addressing the root causes of instability and fostering conditions for peace and resilience. ♻️ This puts our work at Circle of Sustainable Europe (CoSE) into a new light combined with the ongoing conflicts currently going. Therefore, the goal of this discussion was to showcase some of our examples on how EU-project frameworks, its aims and management can support in rehabilitation and recovery. 🏘 Therefore, an holistic approach that addresses the interconnected economic, social, and environmental dimensions of conflict is needed per region in; ▶️ Building Resilient Communities: Sustainable development emphasizes building resilient communities capable of withstanding shocks and stresses. ▶️ Addressing Socioeconomic Inequalities: Sustainable development aims to reduce poverty, inequality, and marginalization, which are often underlying factors in conflicts. ▶️ Building Resilient Communities: Sustainable development emphasizes building resilient communities capable of withstanding shocks and stresses. ▶️ Fostering Cross-border Cooperation: Sustainable development encourages regional cooperation and collaboration on shared challenges such as environmental conservation, economic development, and infrastructure. ▶️ Supporting Post-Conflict Reconstruction: In post-conflict settings, sustainable development plays a vital role in rebuilding infrastructure, restoring essential services, and supporting livelihoods to facilitate recovery and reconciliation. 🇨🇭 After the event, it was time to network with fellow changemakers, experts and policymakers in this field. And ofcourse, a bit of enjoyment in beautiful Geneva, Switzerland. 🤝 If you are working in the field of EU-project management or any field related to it and want to reach out?
