Interpeace’s Renée Lariviere offered key messages to structure the Dialogue & Elina Mariutsa helped steer discussions to advance integrated action on climate, peace & resilience.

The Belém Communique marks a shift toward inclusive, resilient, peace-enabling climate finance.

At High-Level Dialogue, partners moved from vision to execution by:

- Launching first set of pilot countries, including Guinea-Bissau, the Gambia, Iraq and Chad
- Engaging key grassroot leadership for joint climate-peace action
- Exploring new pathways with finance & development actors

Most importantly, thank you to our youth peace mediators—your innovation, thoughtful questions, and commitment breathe life into this programme. #YPMP

Interpeace works to de-risk development by embedding political, social and peacebuilding engagement into project design. Renée urged for stronger partnerships b/w peacebuilders & development finance actors, & inclusive decision-making to reduce grievances & build trust.

Renée Lariviere @interpeace.org, shared that resource tensions aren’t just about extractive revenues, they’re about land, identity, & trust. Our peace responsiveness approach ensures communities are not just consulted, they’re co-creators of solutions that reflect their priorities.
