Peacebuilding: The Missing Peace in COP30 Climate Ambition By Janani Vivekananda Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.

In 2025, nearly 80% of countries experiencing risks to peace remain off-track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Addressing these challenges isn’t just about safeguarding peace, stability and development. It’s also about ensuring sustainable climate action. Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.
