At the Paris Peace Forum, heads of state and international organizations work with civil society and the private sector to build new forms of collective action. The goal is to better manage the global commons, especially in a post-Covid world. AFD Group, a partner since the first edition, will speak on the topics of private-sector mobilization in fragile contexts and France’s strategic role in multilateralism and sustainable development.
Introduction jusqu'à la vidéo
Since 2018, the objective of the Paris Peace Forum has been to provide a space for responding to the challenge of rebuilding better – in other words, for reducing divides and closing the gaps that threaten reconstruction:
- closing the action gap on health and economic recovery;
- closing the ambition gap for the global commons;
- closing the North-South gap;
- closing the inclusion gap.

SOUTH-NORTH DIALOGUE FOR ACHIEVING SDG 2 AND 13 IN AFRICA: FOR AN AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION FOR SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY
The COVID-19 outbreak and the war in Ukraine have exacerbated structural trends: food insecurity will increase due to an increase in demographics and lower crop yields due to climate change. The challenge of the century will be to produce more while decarbonizing. Faced with this situation, Africa has immense agricultural potential. It can feed its population through a model adapted to climate change. This round table, in line with the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, will try to show that it is possible to reconcile in Africa the agendas of fight against global warming and protection of biodiversity on the one hand, and agricultural development to achieve each other’s food security.
