What is Peacebuilding?
Ringkasan
TLDRThe world is facing a surge in conflicts, reaching a decade-high number of fatalities and incidents. By the end of 2023, 363 million people require humanitarian assistance, a 33% increase over the previous year. The Global Peace Index indicates that violence has cost the world nearly $20 trillion, 13.5% of the global GDP, equating to $2,380 per person. Although a quarter of the global population lives in fragile and conflict-affected areas, these regions contribute only 3% to the global economy. Despite the immense spending on war and violence, a mere 1% of this budget could significantly enhance peacebuilding efforts, saving resources while protecting lives. Investing in prevention offers a substantial return, saving at least $16 for every dollar spent. Peacebuilding integrates humanitarian, developmental, and peace-focused actions through tools like the UN Secretary-Generalβs Peacebuilding Fund, aiming to tackle conflict root causes more effectively.
