Spring Meeting 2026 Overview
The Spring Meeting of the Paris Peace Forum, scheduled for June 4-5, 2026, in Rabat, Morocco, is set to explore the crucial theme of "Resilient Transitions." This event is organized in partnership with the OCP Group and supported by Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. Following two successful previous editions held abroad, this gathering aims to advance political initiatives recognized under the French G7 Presidency label. The forum will bring together international leaders, organizations, researchers, investors, and civil society actors to forge new alliances and devise concrete strategies. These strategies will ensure that climate action, economic development, and social stability progress in tandem, particularly in a world marked by growing fragmentation due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.
Significance and Priorities of the Meeting
This Spring Meeting represents a pivotal moment in the global governance agenda, addressing how to accelerate transitions while ensuring their resilience. With less than 20% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on track for the 2030 deadline, the focus on resilience has never been more pertinent. The choice of Rabat as the venue underscores the belief that global solutions must arise from inclusive dialogues across regions, given Morocco's unique position as a crossroads between Africa, Europe, and the Arab world. The meeting will prioritize key themes aligned with the G7 Summit, including resilient food systems and agricultural transformation in Africa, emphasizing the continuation of initiatives like ATLAS aimed at sustainable agriculture financing. Another crucial agenda item will be the framework for childhood investment, recognizing that the well-being of children is vital for long-term stability and sustainable development. Lastly, discussions will address the responsible management of transition-related minerals to ensure equitable value chains that benefit the Global South.
