Paris Peace Forum - Call for Projects 2021 [fr]
Do you have a concrete solution addressing a global challenge ? Present your project at the fourth edition of the Paris Peace Forum ! Submit your project now through 9 May 2021.
In November 2021, the Paris Peace Forum will focus on spurring a more inclusive recovery and offering initiatives to better tend to global challenges and global commons.
Each year, governance projects proposing concrete solutions to global challenges are invited to the Forum’s Space for Solutions and contribute to debates. The solutions highlighted at the Forum are beyond the conception stage and stand out by their international and cooperative dimension, and their capacity to create sustainable change in global governance.

- Fighting against the Covid-19 crisis
- Better governing the global commons
- Better governing the digital world
