2023 Outstanding Environmental Peace

SIPRI is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflict, armaments, arms control and disarmament. Established in 1966 and based in Stockholm, SIPRI provides data, analysis and recommendations, based on open sources, to policymakers, researchers, media and the interested public.

Peace operations and conflict management have been core elements of SIPRI’s work since the end of the cold war. Currently, SIPRI’s work within peace consists of three main pillars: (a) peace operations data and trends; (b) the future of peace operations in the New Geopolitics of Peace Operations Initiative; and (c) gender and peace operations and conflict management. In addition, SIPRI has taken on many evaluation and ‘lessons learned’ studies, as well as consultancies regarding topical peace operations issues.

The recognition of SIPRI’s invaluable contributions to global peace and security through the Luxembourg Peace Prize serves as an inspiration and reaffirms the importance of sustained efforts in fostering a more peaceful and secure world. SIPRI remains steadfast in its mission to continue advancing peace through research, dialogue, and the promotion of multilateral cooperation.

”We cannot have a peaceful world if we continue to destroy the natural foundations on which our lives together are built. Ecological disruption is a threat to human security and to national security. An essential part of building peace, therefore, is greater care for the natural environment”.
