This year, we are bringing Dr. Angela Kane, a former UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, to our cooperation event in Dresden. We want to discuss with her how we can establish peace-building structures in the long term and what can be done locally to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).

The subsequent Award Ceremony of the 23^rd Lokale Agenda Contest honors initiatives for their commitment to sustainable development in Dresden.

Keynote: Dr. Angela Kane has had a long and distinguished career (more than 35 years) at the United Nations, working in the field and New York. Among other positions, she was Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs of the United Nations (UN) and Member (2016-2019) and Chair (2019-2022) of the Council of the United Nations University (UNU). She is currently a Sam Nunn Distinguished Fellow at the Nuclear Threat Initiative in Washington DC.
