Afghanistan and Syria: Building Peace Through Resilience

In Afghanistan and Syria, the compounded effects of conflict, economic collapse, and climate stress continue to deepen humanitarian suffering. The Europe Peace Foundation affirms that peace cannot take hold in conditions of hunger and displacement. We advocate for a comprehensive approach that connects humanitarian relief with long-term strategies for resilience — including climate adaptation, inclusive governance, and social protection. True peace requires addressing the structural causes of vulnerability and empowering communities to rebuild their futures with dignity and stability. The Foundation remains committed to fostering initiatives that bridge emergency aid with sustainable, peaceful development.
