INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS AT THE HEART OF THE PEACE FORUM

Paris Peace Forum 2020: 100 solutions to bounce back from the Coronavirus crisis In 2020, the world is facing a health crisis with dramatic consequences that knows no borders and calls for collective solutions. Yet international coordination is at a loss, while short-term national calculations and lack of solidarity, especially with developing countries, take precedence. The Paris Peace Forum was created to respond to this crisis of multilateralism, which is not new but has sharply increased in 2020. Given the scale of the challenges before us, the Forum will devote its third edition to projects and initiatives from around the world aimed at providing immediate responses to the Covid-19 crisis, improving our resilience in the medium term, and rebuilding a more sustainable world. Ten days after the American , and ten days before the G20 Summit in Riyadh, the third edition of the Paris Peace Forum will be the first international event of its kind after the emergence of the pandemic, from 11 to 13 November 2020, providing a universal and inclusive platform for all actors involved in the response to the crisis. Given the health prevention measures related to the Coronavirus pandemic, this third edition of the Forum will take a hybrid form: partly in person, partly online. The Call for Projects launched in March 2020 received more than 850 applications - a record since the creation of the Forum - from all types of actors: NGOs, companies, international organizations, states, local authorities... This is a sign that, despite the pandemic, there remains an astounding reservoir of international cooperation and a willingness to respond to the crisis collectively. Of the 100 Selected Projects, 46 focus on immediate responses to the health, social and economic crisis, particularly concentrating on the three priorities of this year's Forum:

• the governance of health • the use and regulation of digital tools and platforms to respond to the crisis • the support of civil society and economic activity in times of pandemics

Other selected initiatives provide answers to many challenges that did not disappear with the Coronavirus or, on the contrary, have increased: reconciling development finance with climate efforts , protecting the oceans, improving access to clean water, making outer space safe and sustainable, regulation the use of data and AI, enhancing the governance of education and ensuring gender equality.

A universal Call for Projects to respond to the crisis around the world The responses to this third Call for Projects confirm the role of the Forum as a major player in international coordination, given that 49% of the projects selected by the Selection Committee are implemented globally, or on at least two continents.

A diversity of actors in collective action

The 2020 Selected Projects are led by a variety of actors from 61 different countries. They are initiated in particular by states (4 projects), international organizations (25 projects), NGOs (36 projects) as well as companies, foundations, local authorities and think tanks.

Solutions to go beyond the rhetoric and face the crisis in an immediate and concrete way

The selected project leaders will thus be able to present their solution from 11 to 13 November 2020 at the Grande Halle de La Villette in Paris or on a digital platform specially developed for the event. This third edition will be an opportunity for project leaders to reach out to thousands of actors in collective action and make a concrete contribution to ending the crisis and building a more sustainable world. 100 solutions with global impact The 2020 Selected Projects are implemented in 76 countries around the globe. The below list indicates each project implemented per country.

"It is now clear that the cost of the Covid-19 pandemic will be all the more exorbitant should we not be able to provide a collective response. Yet the indicators of international cooperation are all trending poorly. The Forum was created to defend and advance multilateralism: while many states are dragging their feet, the massive response to our Call for Projects, and the superb selection of 100 projects for this 2020 edition, show that we can count on other forces to respond to the crisis."

On 11-13 November 2020, the third edition of the Paris Peace Forum will offer a first opportunity to gather the international community and turn the page of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bouncing back to a better planet

Amid suffering, anxiety and uncertainty, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought us back to our common humanity. It has also brought to the fore the urgency to better organize the planet. Recovery and resilience will not be attained by one country in isolation, or even by governments alone.

Since 2018, the Paris Peace Forum has been the place where heads of state and international organizations meet civil society and the private sector to construct new forms of collective action. On 11-13 November 2020, its third edition will be chiefly devoted to the multi-actor response to Coronavirus, with the conviction that we can collectively overcome the enormous challenges before us – and use the crisis as an opportunity to rebuild a more sustainable world.

“The current crisis shows how dependent national leaders– even those rejecting multilateralism – are on collective action for essential tasks like finding and distributing a vaccine, supporting fragile countries and restoring a Coronavirus-free world. Never has the multi-actor approach that underpinned the creation of the Paris Peace Forum been so necessary.” Justin Vaïsse, Director General of the Paris Peace Forum

Shape of the event: A hybrid format

We do not know what public health instructions will be in mid-November 2020. It is possible that some countries will still be under lockdown, or that travel will be limited. For this reason, we are preemptively planning for a hybrid event: partly in-person, partly online. The respective size of each part will depend on the conditions of travel in the Fall. We do not conceive of this hybrid event simply as a stopgap measure, but rather as an opportunity to explore new forms of collective interaction which we might retain and improve in future editions. The physical, in-person part of the event, in Paris, remains central. Its highlights will comprise:

• The Opening Ceremony including heads of state and international organizations, invited by President Macron to work on the collective response to Coronavirus. It will be one of the first such gatherings after – we hope – the bulk of the pandemic has passed. This major event will closely follow the model of previous editions, having welcomed , Antonio Guterres and in 2018, followed during the 2019 edition by Emmanuel Macron, , Wang Qishan, and Félix Tshisekedi. In 2020, the aim is to include prominent leaders of health-oriented international organizations in addition to heads of state representing various nations across the global South.

• The Finance in Common Summit of Public Development Banks, focused on the crisis and subsequent economic and social recovery while redoubling efforts to achieve our common and global goals for sustainable development (alignment with Agenda 2030 and COP21 climate objectives).

• A presentation of the 2020 selected projects coming from NGOs and foundations, the private sector, international organizations, local governments, academics and experts.

• The Business Track of the Paris Peace Forum, organized around companies rising up to improve the collective response and resilience to Coronavirus. This unique element of the third edition focused on the private sector will give high-level CEOs a chance to take the stage.

The digital part of the event will accompany and complete the physical part by plugging in many participants from around the world in high-level debates and allowing pitches by project leaders. The innovative setting of the Forum will offer online opportunities for a broad public to interact with project leaders as well as high-level participants, and to experiment new and powerful forms of digital networking.

Focus of the event: Recovering and building a better day after

The third edition of the Forum will be centered on the collective response to Coronavirus, both in terms of improving our immediate response and resilience, and of rebuilding a more sustainable world.

1. Improving the global governance of health, with a view to increasing coordination among actors, launching initiatives, enhancing alert systems and preparedness, and boosting local health systems in developing countries.

2. Fixing and greening capitalism: Beyond necessary emergency measures – including for developing countries – to kick-start and sustain activity, we need to build economies that are fairer and more inclusive, and productive systems that are environmentally sustainable.

3. Getting data and social media to help, not hurt: Cyber solutions contribute to tackling the pandemic, but they can jeopardize privacy and freedom. Hence the necessity to fight fake news, decide on proper regulation of the use of personal data, and increase cybersecurity for all.

Other global governance issues such as regional security architectures and peace, gender equality, education (with the threat posed to fragile education systems), biodiversity – especially regarding oceans and access to clean water – as well as the governance of outer space will remain on the agenda.

“To all of the actors of global governance – heads of state, major foundations, businesses or civil society: I look forward to seeing you on 11 November in Paris, or perhaps online, depending on the conditions imposed on all of us – for the third edition of the Paris Peace Forum. The victory we will achieve over the Coronavirus will also be one of multilateralism, cooperation, and solidarity.” Excerpt from the message of greeting sent by French President Emmanuel Macron on the occasion of the Paris Peace Forum Spring Meeting of 27 April 2020.
