By taking a deep dive into the lives of visionary people around the world\, this beautiful\, eye opening\, and moving film sets out to reveal our relationship with water and its role as the nourishing life force for all that lives on this planet. Our Earth is in trouble and water is the vehicle through which the effects of climate change will be felt. Extreme droughts\, floods\, fires\, loss of biodiversity\, pollution\, and global warming are on the rise. Our Blue World shows that through a small shift in consciousness and practice\, we can bring enormous positive change and rebalance and regenerate life on earth.

SUMMARY:PEACE TALKS #2: Autonomous Weapons\, AI\, and the Future of Human Control
DESCRIPTION:🕊️ The Second Edition: 5 November | UN City Copenhagen\n🇺🇳 The UN City Peace Talks explore some of the forces shaping peace and conflict today\, and what those changes mean for international cooperation and its role in responding to them.\nThe first edition\, held in June 2026\, took the Global Peace Index as its starting point and examined a world in which conflicts are becoming more internationalised and traditional approaches to preventing and resolving them are under growing pressure. \n💬 This second edition turns to one of the developments shaping the landscape already now and likely in the years ahead: the growing role of Artificial Intelligence and autonomous technologies in warfare. \n—————————————- \nArtificial Intelligence presents both promise and peril. AI is changing what is possible in warfare. The harder question is what we decide should be possible. \nApplied responsibly\, new technologies may improve situational awareness\, precision\, and the protection of civilians and military personnel. Military systems can already identify objects\, process information\, and support decisions at speeds no human can match. \nAt the same time\, increasing autonomy in weapons systems raises fundamental questions about human judgment and control over the use of force: \nWho remains accountable for decisions made or mediated by machines? \nHow much and what kinds of human control are enough? \nCan international rules develop quickly enough to keep pace with the speed of conflict and how wars are fought? \n—————————————- \nOn 5 November\, UN City Copenhagen and the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) invite you to the next edition of Peace Talks for a conversation going beyond the technology itself. \nWe will explore where the technology currently stands\, what increasing autonomy could mean for warfare dynamics\, how existing international law applies\, where international efforts to establish additional rules have reached\, and what are the most difficult unresolved questions. \nBringing together perspectives from the United Nations\, the Danish Government\, academia\, defence technology\, and international humanitarian law\, our discussion will ask a central question: \nHow do we preserve meaningful human responsibility for the use of force\, and what role can international cooperation play in establishing the rules that govern it? \n—————————————- \nPROGRAMME\n16:30 Welcome – Reflections on peace\, technological change\, and the role of multilateral cooperation \nJorge Moreira da Silva – UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNOPS \n16:37 Keynote Address – Danish perspective on defence\, AI\, and responsible technological development \nSpeaker to be announced \n16:45 Setting the Scene: Autonomous weapons and the state of play \nIngvild Bode – Professor of International Relations and Director of the Center for War Studies\, University of Southern Denmark \n17:05 Discussion and Q&A \n\nIngvild Bode\nJeppe Teglskov Jacobsen – Strategic Advisor and Chief of Information\, The National Defence Technology Centre\nIben Yde – Advisor\, Rethink Advisory; Former Head of Center for Operational and International Law at The Royal Danish Defence Academy\n\n17:40 Closing Remarks \n18:00 End

She puts all her worries\, joys\, and fears into her drawings and the sculptures she makes from soaked egg cartons or clay that she finds along her escape routes. Many of her drawings feature recurring figures: a loyal fox who is her traveling companion\, a pink moon that always watches over her\, and a clown who ever laughs—a character Soraya identifies with. Using Soraya’s own footage alongside animation and documentary storytelling\, director Mehrdad Oskouei follows both the uncertainty of her journey and her determination to continue making art and rebuilding her life. Through one young woman’s experience\, the film opens a wider window onto forced displacement\, gender-based violence\, dangerous migration routes\, refugee protection\, and what it can mean to hold on to identity and aspirations while searching for somewhere safe to begin again. \nABOUT IOM\nThe International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organization within the UN system\, dedicated to promoting safe\, humane\, and orderly migration since 1951. IOM Denmark supports and works with migrants\, governments\, and partners to save lives and protect people on the move\, drive solutions to displacement\, and facilitate pathways for regular migration. IOM works with migrant protection\, immigration and border governance\, climate mobility\, data\, refugee resettlement\, return and readmission\, and labour mobility. Our work takes place in countries of origin\, transit\, and destination along key migration corridors in North\, East\, West\, and Central Africa\, the Middle East\, and the Western Balkans. IOM supports people on the move and communities affected by migration\, helping to build safer migration pathways\, strengthen resilience\, and create opportunities for sustainable futures. \nABOUT UNHCR\nUNHCR\, the UN Refugee Agency is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives\, protecting rights\, and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution. We lead international action to protect refugees\, forcibly displaced communities\, and stateless people. We deliver life-saving assistance\, help safeguard fundamental human rights\, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place called home. Our vision is a world where every person forced to flee can build a better future. Today\, over 100 million people across the world have fled persecution\, violence\, or conflict\, or are stateless\, and need our help. Since our establishment in December 1950\, we have helped tens of millions of refugees to successfully restart their lives\, and we continue to protect\, support\, and seek long-lasting solutions for the millions who are currently displaced. \nABOUT HUM:GLOBAL AND THE UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN\nHUM:Global is a cross-faculty initiative that maps\, harnesses\, and stimulates researchers\, projects\, networks (both with external global partners and internally at KU)\, and centres at the Faculty of Humanities to generate and bring to life their greatest and most daring ideas on global processes and challenges.
