由联合国教科文组织、中国联合国教科文组织全国委员会、江苏省政府新闻办公室以及南京市政府联合主办的第二届南京和平论坛将于2021年10月24日至26日在南京举行。2020年，联合国教科文组织与南京市政府签署了为期三年的谅解备忘录，并举办了首届南京和平论坛，旨在重申和平的重要意义、促进和平以及人与人之间的相互理解。一年一度的南京和平论坛将为建设和平与重塑一个以文化间理解、宽容、团结、社会正义与包容为标志之世界的思想与行动提供活力平台。它不仅仅是一场活动，更是一场定期的聚会，致力于为所有建设与维持和平的利益相关方，加强其对话与能力提供持久支持。

新冠疫情提醒我们，人类与自然都是同一个生命共同体的一部分。然而，气候变化、生物多样性丧失以及污染恶化等全球性挑战正在加剧社会不平等，影响着全人类的福祉。这些全球性挑战所带来的风险也正在破坏着人与自然之间的关系以及通往积极与可持续和平的道路。正是在这样的背景下，2021年的南京和平论坛将总主题确立为“和合共生：与自然和平相处”，重点关注生态文明理念。

作为通往2021南京和平论坛之路的重要组成部分，系列区域/次区域对话将于2021年10月24日前举行。这些区域/次区域对话将围绕论坛总主题或以下5个分主题展开，促进国际间的交流和思考。5个分主题分别是：（1）气候变化与和平；（2）生物多样性与和平；（3）遗产与和平；（4）可持续发展目标与和平；（5）水与和平。


目前，以下区域对话已经确认举办：

  • 伊斯兰堡对话：对话聚焦“和平之水”这一分主题，由联合国教科文组织伊斯兰堡办事处主办。举办日期：2021 年 10 月 6 日。

  • 阿拉木图对话：对话将聚焦“文化遗产以及文化与创业产业：从过去的遗产中建设我们和平的未来”这一分主题，由联合国教科文组织阿拉木图办事处举办。举办日期：2021年10月19日。

  • 非洲对话：对话将聚焦“积极的和平在非洲——我们需要的环境”这一分主题，由联合国教科文组织哈拉雷和内罗毕办事处举办。对话包含两个分议题：（1）伦理、政治、经济与和平。（2）生物多样性、知识、文化与和平。举办日期：2021 年 10 月 22 日。

  • 拉丁美洲和加勒比地区对话：对话将聚焦“水与和平：青年在建设和平中的角色”这一分主题，由联合国教科文组织蒙得维的亚、圣何塞和金斯敦办事处举办，联合国教科文组织巴西利亚和墨西哥城办事处提供支持。举办日期：2021 年 10 月 22 日。

系列区域/次区域对话将丰富2021年南京和平论坛的讨论和成果。

能力建设活动

在 2021 年南京和平论坛框架下，联合国教科文组织驻华代表处将与选定的专家和网络合作，开展能力培训活动，增强计划与实施建设与维持和平创意的能力。

能力建设培训将重点关注以下四个主题: 可持续发展目标与和平、生物多样性与和平、水与和平、气候变化与和平。


可持续发展目标与和平

简介：

生态文明旨在创造一个更加社会公正与生态和谐的全球社会。和平、稳定、人权和基于法治的有效治理是可持续发展的重要渠道。如今，我们生活在一个日益分裂的世界，当一些地区长期处于和平、安全和繁荣的状态时，另一些地区却似乎陷入了无休止的冲突和暴力循环之中。然而，这些问题绝不是不可避免的，必须加以解决。

高程度的武装暴力和安全保障的缺乏无疑会对一个国家的发展有着破坏性的影响，其影响着经济增长，往往会导致社区之间产生不满情绪，而这种长期的不满情绪会持续好几代人。在一些冲突或缺乏法治的地区，性暴力、犯罪、剥削和虐待仍然十分普遍。各国必须采取措施保护风险人群。

可持续发展目标 (SDGs) 旨在减少一切形式的暴力，并致力于与政府和社区合作，共同寻找解决冲突和不安全问题的长久方案。其中，加强法治和促进人权是这一进程的关键所在，同时减少非法武器的流通与提高发展中国家在全球治理制度中的参与度也十分重要。


促进和平与正义是 2030 年可持续发展议程的17 个全球目标之一。一套综合的方法对实现多个目标至关重要。

ROAD TO THE 2021 NANJING PEACE FORUM

UNESCO is collaborating with the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO, the Information Office of Jiangsu Provincial Government, and the Nanjing Municipal Government to organize the second edition of the Nanjing Peace Forum, which will take place from 24 to 26 October 2021. As part of a three-year MoU between UNESCO and the Nanjing Municipal Government, the annual Nanjing Peace Forum was first launched in 2020 to reiterate the significance of peace, and to promote peace and understanding among people. The Nanjing Peace Forum aims to provide a dynamic platform for ideas and actions on how to build peace and reshape the world towards one marked by intercultural understanding, tolerance, solidarity, social justice, and inclusion. It is designed to be more than just an event, but rather a periodic coming together, underpinning a permanent process of strengthening dialogue and capacities for all relevant stakeholders towards building and sustaining peace.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder that humans and nature are part of the same community of living beings. However, global challenges like climate disruption, biodiversity loss, and worsening pollution are increasing social inequality and well-being. The interconnectedness between humanity and nature, as well as the pathway to positive and sustainable peace, are being undermined by the risks posed by these challenges. It is under this context that the 2021 Nanjing Peace Forum will focus its attention on the overarching theme of “Living in Harmony with Nature for Peace”, drawing on the notion of ecocivilization.

As an important part of the road to the 2021 Nanjing Peace Forum, a series of regional/sub-regional dialogues will be held in the weeks before 24 October 2021. These regional/sub-regional dialogues are designed to promote international exchanges and reflection around the overarching theme, or around one of the following five sub-themes: (i) Climate Change and Peace; (ii) Biodiversity and Peace; (iii) Heritage and Peace; (iv) SDGs and Peace; (v) Water and Peace.

So far, the following dialogues have been confirmed:

  • Islamabad Dialogue: On the sub-theme of “Water for Peace” to be organized by the UNESCO Islamabad Office. Date: 6 October 2021.

  • Almaty Dialogue: On the sub-theme of “Cultural Heritage and Cultural and Creative Industries: Build our peaceful future from the heritage of the past” to be organized by the UNESCO Almaty Office for the Central Asia sub-region. Date: 19 October 2021.

  • Africa Dialogue: On the sub-theme of “Positive Peace in Africa – The Environment We Need” to be organized by the UNESCO Harare and Nairobi Offices. This dialogue will comprise two panels: (i) “Ethics, Politics, Economics, and Peace”; (ii) “Biodiversity, Knowledge, Culture, and Peace”. Date: 22 October 2021.

  • Latin America and the Caribbean Dialogue: On the sub-theme of “Water and Peace: The Role of Youth in Peacebuilding” to be organized by the UNESCO Montevideo, San Jose, and Kingston offices, with support from the UNESCO Brasilia and Mexico City offices. Date: 22 October 2021.

These regional/sub-regional dialogues will enrich the discussion and outcome of the 2021 Nanjing Peace Forum in 2021.

Capacity Building Activities

Within the framework of the 2021 Nanjing Peace Forum, the UNESCO Beijing Office is also working with selected experts and networks to conduct training sessions designed to enhance capacities in planning and implementing initiatives towards building and sustaining peace. 

The program sessions will focus on the four themes as follows: SDGs and Peace, Biodiversity and Peace, Water and Peace, Climate Change and Peace.

SDGs and Peace

Introduction:

Ecological Civilization aim to bring about a more socially just and ecologically harmonious global society. Peace, stability, human rights and effective governance based on the rule of law are important conduits for sustainable development. We are living in a world that is increasingly divided. Some regions enjoy sustained levels of peace, security and prosperity while others fall into seemingly endless cycles of conflict and violence. This is by no means inevitable and must be addressed.


High levels of armed violence and insecurity have a destructive impact on a country’s development, affecting economic growth and often resulting in long standing grievances among communities that can last for generations. Sexual violence, crime, exploitation and torture are also prevalent where there is conflict or no rule of law, and countries must take measures to protect those who are most at risk.


The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to significantly reduce all forms of violence, and work with governments and communities to find lasting solutions to conflict and insecurity. Strengthening the rule of law and promoting human rights is key to this process, as is reducing the flow of illicit arms and strengthening the participation of developing countries in the institutions of global governance.


Promoting peace and justice is one of the 17 Global Goals that make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. An integrated approach is crucial for progress across the multiple goals.
