  • Geneva Peace Week 2019 Evaluation Report
    Geneva Peace Week 2019 Evaluation Report I. Overview This Evaluation Report provides the key data about GPW19, including the numbers of participants and speakers and feedback on the week from participants and event organizers. It highlights innovations in terms of networking, outreach and communications, and summarizes the resources mobilized for GPW19. It also sketches out the horizon for GPW20. GPW19 took place from the 4-8 November 2019. The main substantive trends emerging during GPW19 are documented in The Pulse of Peacebuilding 2020 that provides an overview of the key messages emerging from the panel discussions, practical workshops, games and role-plays, personal testimonials, debates, exhibits and documentaries that comprised the GPW19 programme. Some of the main organizational highlights for GPW19: • An estimated 1,400 participants took part in GPW19.1 Participants came from more than 50 countries, largely from NGOs, academia and international organizations.2 • A total of 310 speakers participated in GPW19 from more than 80 cities from across the world, including Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, North America, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and Latin America. • A key innovation of GPW19 was the focus on thematic curation by the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform, with accompanying networking events: peacebuilding in Europe; building trust; cyberpeace; urban peace; and the humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus. • A new conferencing application was introduced for GPW19 and significantly amplified the connections between participants and with speakers, thus increasing networking opportunities and information-sharing throughout the week and beyond. • Feedback from GPW19 participants was positive, with survey respondents rating their overall experience as ‘excellent’ (41%) or ‘good’ (45%).

  • CAN TECH SAVE the WORLD? Swiss Solutions to Protect the Environment
    CAN TECH SAVE THE WORLD? Swiss solutions to protect the environment Foreword Switzerland’s idyllic landscapes, clear lakes and rivers, and harmonious urban planning are the result of many technological, policy and societal innovations. This development pathway, which places a responsibility towards future generations at its core, has established Switzerland as a leader in cleantech. Today, Switzerland is renowned for its expertise in fields including climate change, biodiversity, disaster management, smart waste management, sustainable finance, and urban planning. Thanks to its world-class research institutions, strong startup sector and ability to attract top talent, Switzerland constantly ranks among the most innovative countries in the world and is therefore uniquely positioned to offer cutting-edge solutions for a sustainable future. China, too, has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable development through its ability to roll out innovative technologies at a large scale and high pace. Like all other countries, Switzerland and China are vulnerable to a wide range of effects associated with climate change, ecosystem degradation and pollution. As illustrated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, global challenges will require global cooperation. Bernardino Regazzoni The cooperation between Switzerland and China in the areas of Ambassador of Switzerland to China innovation and sustainability is strong. It includes over 250 partnerships between Swiss and Chinese Universities and over 300 Swiss startups with interests in China, supported by swissnex China and long-term partnerships between the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and Chinese counterparts in domains ranging from clean air to zero-emissions buildings. Building a sustainable future requires the active engagement of all actors, including cooperation between the private and public sectors.
