At the 2025 Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Kofi Annan Foundation (KAF) convened young leaders and decision-makers in an intergenerational dialogue on climate, peace, and security (CPS). The session built upon findings from Beyond Vulnerability: A Guidance Note on Youth, Climate, Peace, and Security, published by FBA, SIPRI, and UNDP, and on KAF and SIPRI's youth-led research, Resilience Rising: Youth Research Informing Global Climate and Conflict Responses. Young experts from diverse contexts shared their experiences, challenges, and successes in addressing CPS issues on the ground, including Sylvain Obedi (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Jayaa Jaggi (Pakistan), Kafia Abdifitah Ajab (Somalia), Nisreen Elsaim (Sudan), Fatou Jeng (The Gambia) and Aaliyah Nabanga (Uganda). The session fostered meaningful collaboration across generations, allowing participants to engage directly with young experts and explore how youth-led CPS initiatives can be strengthened and scaled.
