SUMMARY:docUNight: Thank You for the Rain
DESCRIPTION:Book your spot here: Thank You for the Rain. \nWith rising heat\, drought\, and heavy rain in Africa\, how do farmers stay resilient and how does this impact migration? \n\n\nIn 2012\, Kisilu\, a Kenyan farmer\, started capturing the life of his family\, his village\, and the daily realities of climate change on camera. When a violent storm brings him and a Norwegian filmmaker together\, we witness his journey from a father to community leader to global activist. \nJoin us for a screening of the powerful documentary ‘Thank You For The Rain‘ followed by a panel discussion on how migration relates to climate change\, disasters\, and environmental degradation in Africa\, looking at the past decade. \nThank You For The Rain addresses a range of issues linked to climate change\, including climate justice\, urbanisation\, gender equality\, education\, access to water\, climate migration\, and adaptation. \nJust weeks after COP30 in Belém\, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) will examine the critical links between human mobility and climate change – and how communities continue to adapt and stay resilient. \nRun time: 1h 27 minutes \nLanguage: English \nThis event is made possible thanks to the IOM programme on Climate Change and Migration Data (CCMD)\, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION\nPlease bring a valid photo-ID to get through security at UN City and set aside time for the security check prior to the event. \nPlease note that the check-in will open at 16:30 and close at 17:20. \nIt will not be possible to enter UN City after this time. Please DO NOT book tickets under your name for someone else. \nPlease reserve each ticket under each person’s name due to the security check upon entry to UN City. \nRefreshments (soft drinks and snacks) will be available for purchase between 16:30–17:30. You are also welcome to bring your own water bottles and snacks to UN City. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nPROGRAMME\n17:30 Opening Remarks by IOM and UNEP \n17:40 Screening of ‘Thank You for the Rain’ \n19:10 Panel Discussion with: \n\nJulia Dahr – Norwegian filmmaker and activist (joining online)\nKisilu Musuya – Kenyan filmmaker\, farmer\, climate fighter\, and video diarist in the film (joining online)\nRose Kobusinge – IOM-AU Youth Ambassador and Ugandan advocate on Migration\, Environment\, and Climate Change\n\n\nmoderated by Noa Valentin Katz Søgaard – Head of UN City Communications\n\n19:40 Closing Remarks \n19:45 End of event \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nABOUT INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS DAY:\nThis docUNight is part of the commemoration of International Migrants Day 2025 that occurs every year on 18 December. This year’s theme “My Great Story: Cultures and Development” promotes migration as a driver of resilience\, innovation\, and sustainable development. \nThe theme emphasises inclusive governance\, partnerships\, and storytelling to showcase migrants’ contributions to economies\, cultures\, and global progress. It highlights how properly governed migration connects people\, enriches cultures\, and drives sustainable development across origin\, transit\, and destination communities. \nSPECIAL EXHIBITION:\nVisit UN City between 11–19 December and explore a special exhibition featuring a series of photographs showcasing communities in Mauritania under the Climate Change\, Migration\, and Development (CCMD) project. \nThe photo exhibition explores how climate change in Mauritania contributes to reshaping landscapes\, lives\, and migration patterns. Through the lens of photographer Alexander Bee\, it documents the droughts\, sudden floods\, and environmental degradation impacting the decision of people to migrate – or to adapt in place – as traditional livelihoods become harder to sustain. \nThe images highlight both the human face of a changing climate and the resilience of communities working to forge new solutions. They underscore the urgent need for more adaptation finance and people-centred responses. \nThese are essential for migration to remain a choice rather than a necessity and ensure human rights-based climate action. \nIn addition to the photo exhibition\, be part of an interactive world map – by pinning your country of origin and migration pathways – and showcase the diversity of global migration and our shared stories. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nAbout IOM:\nThe International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organisation within the UN system\, dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration since 1951. \nIOM works to save lives and protect people on the move\, drive solutions to displacement\, and facilitate pathways for regular migration. \nIOM has operations in 171 countries through more than 550 field offices. IOM Denmark manages programmes that promote evidence-based migration governance and safe migration in North\, East\, West\, and Central Africa as well as the Middle East\, with a particular focus on climate change and border governance. These large-scale initiatives\, implemented by IOM globally\, are coordinated closely with the Government of Denmark within its migration framework. \nLearn more about IOM. \nAbout UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre:\nUNEP Copenhagen Climate is a leading international advisory institution on energy\, climate\, and sustainable development. \nIts work focuses on assisting developing countries and emerging economies transition towards more low-carbon development paths and supports the integration of climate resilience in national development. \nLearn more about UNEP-CCC here. \nAbout UN City Copenhagen:\nUN City Copenhagen is a hub for the Sustainable Development Goals where UN agencies collaborate\, share knowledge\, and work with partners from across governments\, the private sector\, academia\, youth networks\, and civil society in the Nordics and around the world.

SUMMARY:PEACE TALKS Edition 1: 2026 Global Peace Index
DESCRIPTION:Book your spot here: Peace Talks Edition 1: 2026 Global Peace Index \nPEACE TALKS:\nPeace\, Power and the Future of International Cooperation\n🕊️ The First Edition\nThe first edition of Peace Talks will centre on the launch and discussion of the 2026 Global Peace Index (GPI) – published annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP). \nWidely regarded as the world’s leading measure of peacefulness\, the Global Peace Index covers 163 countries and territories\, and assesses trends in societal safety and security\, ongoing conflict\, and militarisation. \nThe findings of the 2026 Index will serve as the starting point for a broader conversation on peace\, power\, and the future of international cooperation. \n  \n\n  \nInternational cooperation is facing profound change. \nThe number of armed conflicts is increasing and has become more complex and protracted. Geopolitical competition is intensifying. New centres of economic and political influence are emerging and reshaping global collaboration. Technological disruption\, climate pressures\, and a disregard for the norms and principles of rules-based world order challenge the premises that have underpinned international cooperation for decades. \nAt the same time\, the challenges confronting humanity have become increasingly interconnected. Conflict\, displacement\, climate change\, food insecurity\, pandemics\, and emerging technologies transcend national borders and cannot be addressed by any country acting alone. \nThe institutions and norms that have helped manage international relations since the end of the Second World War are facing increasing strain\, yet the need for international cooperation has arguably never been greater. \nAgainst this backdrop\, fundamental questions are re-emerging: \n\nIs peace more than the absence of violent conflict?\nHow are changing power dynamics reshaping the prospects for peace and security?\nCan international cooperation adapt to a more contested and multipolar world?\nAnd are the assumptions that have guided the international system for the past 80 years still fit for purpose?\n\n🇺🇳 These questions sit at the heart of Peace Talks – a new conversation series by UN City Copenhagen\nBringing together leading thinkers\, diplomats\, policymakers\, academics\, and practitioners\, Peace Talks explores how peace\, security\, development\, and international cooperation are evolving in a rapidly changing world. \n💬 Join us for an afternoon of evidence\, dialogue\, and reflection on some of the most defining questions of our time.\n  \n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n03:30 PM – 03:35 PM – Welcome\n\nNoa Valentin Katz Søgaard\n\nIntroduction to Peace Talks and the themes of the inaugural discussion – moderated by Noa Valentin Katz Søgaard\, Head of Communications\, UN City Copenhagen \n\n\n03:35 PM – 04:05 PM. – Presentation of the 2026 Global Peace Index\n\nThomas Morgan\n\nPresentation of key findings\, global trends\, and emerging challenges identified in the latest edition of the Global Peace Index – presented by Thomas Morgan\, Senior Researcher\, Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) \n\n\n04:05 PM – 04:35 PM – Peace\, Power and the Future of International Cooperation\n\nMona Sheikh\, Henrik Fredborg Larsen\n\nHow are conflict dynamics evolving? What do the findings reveal about the state of peace today? What are the implications for international cooperation\, development\, and multilateralism? Conversation with Mona Sheikh\, Senior Researcher\, Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and Henrik Fredborg Larsen\, Director\, UNDP Nordic Representation Office \n\n\n04:35 PM – 05:00 PM – Q&A\nOpen discussion
