The Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS) will host a Forum launching the Horn of Africa Bulletin’s (HAB) 2023 Edition on “Exploring Climate, Peace, and Security” jointly with Life and Peace Institute (LPI). The Forum will be held on 21 November 2023 at IPSS New Conference Hall from 02.00 p.m.-04.00 p.m. The Forum is expected to bring together 35-40 representatives from the African Union, RECs, United Nations Agencies, AU ambassadors, think tanks, NGO practitioners, and community-based organizations. The two-hour session will delve into the climate-security nexus in the Horn of Africa. It will also explore the synergies between peacebuilders and insurance agents, shedding light on lessons learned from the promotion of livelihood safety mechanisms and climate resilience in Isiolo, Kenya. Additionally, the session will provide insights from IGAD’s climate adaptation and resilience strategies and assess the AU’s leadership in global climate governance, focusing on expectations of COP 28 and what lies beyond.
