“Key Messages of the Berlin Peace Dialogue 2024”

On 5 November 2024 the Advisory Board jointly hosted the annual Berlin Peace Dialogue with the Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development. The conference took place at the same time as the US elections, whose outcome underlined the fact that the international rulesbased order faces mounting multidimensional challenges, including climate change, rising global power rivalries and entrenched conflicts over political regimes, resources, and zones of influence.

The Berlin Peace Dialogue 2024 explored how civilian crisis prevention can remain effective in this context amid increasing military assertiveness, focusing its discussions on crisis early warning, environmental peacebuilding, and the challenges of engaging with autocracies. Moreover, it examined the role of civil society in conflict resolution and how Germany’s actions are perceived globally.
