Paris Peace Forum<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe Paris Peace Forum is neither a summit nor a conference.

To support collective action, it gathers\u00a0all actors of global governance<\/strong>\u00a0under one roof for three days \u2013 states, international organizations, local governments, NGOs and foundations, companies, experts, journalists, trade unions, religious groups and citizens. Through original formats of debates and the presentation of solutions, it demonstrates there is still a momentum for multilateralism and a better organization of the planet, both among states from North and South and civil society actors.
