  • Pathfinders
  • SDG16+

SDG16, with its focus on peace, justice, inclusion and institutions, is a tool and enabler for all SDGs. It is critical to mitigating the impact of current crises, while acting to prevent future ones, including through anticipatory action and a systems approach grounded in human rights. While conflicts persist, we must continue to insist on respect for and compliance with international humanitarian law
