The fourth annual Tampere Peace Day examines what peace, justice, and reconciliation mean amid rising geopolitical tensions, climate change, competition over resources, and renewed security concerns. This year’s focus is the North, especially the Arctic, where geo-politicisation, militarisation, and the green transition shape everyday life of nations and peoples. The programme links Arctic and a variety of northern perspectives with experiences from other parts of the world, highlighting both the specific challenges of northern contexts and broader lessons for peace and reconciliation. Tampere Peace Day invites participants to move beyond conventional understandings of security and peace by considering the roles of environmental justice, Indigenous rights, education, preparedness, memory, missing persons, and reconciliation in peacebuilding.
