Peace works, but it’s under threat. Conflict is on the rise, with more countries involved in violent conflicts than at any time since 1945. The #PeaceWorksReport, developed by a coalition of organisations working to prevent conflict around the world, is a rallying cry for collaboration & action.

Peace Works
Peace Works highlights the costs of conflict globally and to the UK, shows how conflict is changing, and gives examples of where and how peacebuilders have made decisive contributions to the prevention and resolution of violent conflict.
