As the crisis of the international system worsens, global cooperation is slowing with states competing and expanding military expenditures. International norms and human rights are disregarded, questioning international justice. Globalization lacks regulation, the Internet is dominated by abusive corporations, propagandists and hackers, and the race against global warming carries on.

The Paris Peace Forum was created to counter these tendencies and to convene all those among States and civil society that believe in collective action, multilateralism and the good stewardship of common public goods to address common challenges and maintain peace.

The Paris Peace Forum maintains a specific focus on governance solutions in six major themes:

• Peace and Security
• Development
• Environment
• New technologies
• Inclusive economy
• Culture and Education
