Peace, Climate, and Sustainable Development

Through our work on peace and sustainable development, IPI works to reframe sustaining peace and prevention as a proactive, nationally owned and driven strategy for averting the outbreak of conflict.

Climate Action through Diplomacy‚ Leadership‚ and Partnership

Time is running out to reach the Paris Agreement’s commitment to reducing global emissions by 45 percent by 2030. The remaining years between now and 2030 require radical and transformative action—not only on mitigation but also on adaptation and the issue of loss and damage.

IPI’s project on climate action focuses on addressing the climate emergency through three main avenues: (1) representing the Republic of Maldives in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); (2) advising additional small island developing states (SIDS) in climate negotiations and other global fora; (3) and convening events and conducting research on cutting-edge issues related to climate action, including legal avenues to fight climate change.

Through this research, strategic outreach, and convening, IPI is fostering connections and providing clarity, insight, and specific recommendations that aim to contribute to more ambitious and concrete decisions at the UN Climate Change Conferences on key areas of the climate action agenda—particularly on adaptation, loss and damage, and the strengthening of the climate governance system.
