Nuclear weapons policies and climate change continue to pose existential threats to current and future generations. Furthermore, the current armed conflicts in Israel/Gaza and Russia/Ukraine are creating catastrophic humanitarian, economic, and environmental consequences and are increasing the threat of nuclear weapons use.
What policies internationally and at the country level can address jointly appearing issues of climate change and militarism? How can the interests of global youth be included in policy decisions on these issues? Can the new UN Envoy on Future Generations make a difference? And what impact can the International Court of Justice have in its current cases on genocide, armed conflict and climate change, the latter case being led by youth?
The Basel Intergenerational Forum on Peace, Climate and Disarmament will bring together policymakers, youth activists, and professionals to discuss these questions and international initiatives that might provide solutions for a sustainable future.
