Invest In Peace | UN Peacekeeping | United Nations

UN Peacekeeping is one of the international community’s most effective tools to respond to conflict. But it is facing significant reductions in political support and resources.

Peace does not happen by accident. It requires political will, sustained investment and collective commitment.

Now is the time to invest in peace, not war.

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

AI, clean energy, biotech – the technologies defining the next decades are already here.

The bigger question is: can we turn them into better jobs, stronger economies and new opportunities?

That’s the focus of the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2026, taking place from June 23–25 in Dalian, China.

Known as “Summer Davos”, AMNC26 will bring together over 1,700 participants from business, government, science, academia and civil society under the theme Innovating at Scale.

Together, participants will take on some of the biggest questions of the moment: What’s next for trade and industry? Where is China’s economy headed? How can new technologies create real value? And how can growth generate more opportunities for the next generation? They’ll also look at how the energy transition can help drive competitiveness in a rapidly changing world.

Livestreamed sessions from the meeting will be available on the Forum’s website and YouTube channel.

Global Response to the Climate and Energy Crises: UN Chief’s Special Address | United Nations

In a special address at London Climate Action Week, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres draws on the latest scientific evidence to show how the worsening climate crisis and growing energy insecurity are rooted in continued fossil fuels dependence. He outlines a clear pathway to accelerate the transition to a more secure, resilient and sustainable energy future: one powered by renewable energy, strengthened international cooperation, and science-based action.

24,174 Children Victimized in Conflict Zones in 2025 – Press conference | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Press Conference by Vanessa Frazier, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, on the Secretary-General’s Annual Report.

24,174 children were killed, maimed, recruited, raped or otherwise affected by grave violations in conflict zones last year, the United Nations said, calling the toll “many scars on our collective moral conscience.”

Frazier said her office verified 38,558 grave violations affecting 24,174 children in 2025, the highest number recorded since the Children and Armed Conflict mandate was established 30 years ago.

“Today’s findings are stark. They reflect the shocking reality faced by children in conflict zones around the world, a reality that concerns all of us,” Frazier told reporters in New York.

The violations tracked under the mandate include recruitment and use of children, killing and maiming, rape and other forms of sexual violence, abductions, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access to children, she noted.

For the first time since the mandate was created, government forces were responsible for the majority of grave violations, Frazier said, adding that state forces remained the principal perpetrators of killing and maiming, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access. “These patterns reflect persistent and blatant disregard for international law, and for the rights and special protections owed to children,” she said.

Killing and maiming was the most prevalent violation, with 14,224 children verified as killed or maimed, Frazier continued. The number of children killed rose 35 percent compared with 2024, reaching 6,266, she said, followed by 8,322 incidents of denial of humanitarian access and 6,607 cases of recruitment and use of children in armed conflict.

Sexual violence against children, particularly girls, continues to be used as a tactic of war to humiliate, terrorize and displace entire communities, Frazier said, pointing to a rise in gang rape committed by parties to conflict as evidence of “a deliberate and organized use of sexual violence within the ranks.”

The countries with the highest levels of violations in 2025 were the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Myanmar and Somalia, she said.

Frazier closed her briefing with an appeal to translate the findings into action. “The lives of these 24,174 children are as many scars on our collective moral conscience. I hope we carry them with us so that we use their memory and their pain to act,” she said.
