In a world hungering for peace, we offer a call to courageous #compassion at the heart of and at the edges of the field of conflict. Read @LauraBerland and @egharrel in “The Peace Chronicle, Courage" edited by @pushpaiyer21 in @PJSAtweets: peacejusticestudies.org/chro…
Yes! All so interconnected and all rooted in #compassion - a fundamental driver in establishing the SDGs and essential for achieving them. #Compassion4theSDGs
The #GlobalGoals show how the world's challenges are connected. Each goal is a strand in the intricate web of sustainable development, demonstrating that addressing and progressing one goal significantly impacts the achievement of others.

On #PeaceDay, a reminder that if lasting peace were achieved in a few key locations, global refugee figures could halve.
We must work together to resolve existing conflicts, address their root causes and promote peace so that refugees can return home safely. 🕊️🌍
