Guiding principles and approaches of the Challenges Forum:
To convene an impartial and informal space for in-depth and sincere dialogue, to share knowledge and experiences, and generate innovative ideas towards more effective peace operations.
To contribute to the development of peace operations, while mainstreaming crosscutting important perspectives such as climate-related security risks, technical development, mis- and disinformation and youth participation.
To contribute to more gender responsive peace operations, through the Women, Peace, and Security agenda.
To be an inclusive global platform with a broad and balanced representation, facilitating bridges between different key actors, dimensions, and approaches, such as:
Civilian – military – police components;
UN – regional organizations – host countries;
Theory – policy – practice.
