Since 2018, the Paris Peace Forum has aimed to reinvent diplomacy in a world shaped by geopolitical, climatic, and technological upheavals. For its eighth edition, the Forum will strive to promote solutions for global peace. This edition will be held on October 29 and 30, 2025, under the theme “New Coalitions for Peace, People and the Planet.” It will also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, an opportunity to reinvigorate global climate efforts ahead of COP30 in Belém.
AFD Group, a partner of the Forum since its first edition, will take part to reaffirm its commitment to the Paris Dialogue’s partner institutions, strengthen the impact of sustainable development financing, and promote feminist diplomacy.

Focusing on building new coalitions for “peace, people, and the planet,” the Forum’s sessions will explore issues such as conflict prevention and resolution, defending democracy and information integrity, investing in children as a driver of development, harnessing AI for peace and development, and deploying transformative climate solutions.
