Peace and the environment are inextricably linked. Amid the prevailing security and environmental challenges, stakeholders dedicated to peace and environmental causes at the local, regional, and global levels must engage in a community-led conversation that promotes a greener, more peaceful and sustainable Africa. The Africa Peace and Environment Summit aims to provide a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and action to address the interconnectedness of peacebuilding and environmental sustainability across the African continent.

APES 3 2026

Now, building on the solid foundations of the first two summits, APES 3 enters a new phase under the theme “Intertwining Peace, Prosperity, and Environmental Sustainability.” This third summit recognizes that sustainable peace must be economically grounded and environmentally responsible. Prosperity, in this context, is not defined solely by economic growth, but by inclusive development that safeguards natural resources, reduces inequality, and empowers communities. APES 3 will therefore explore how green economies, climate justice, sustainable livelihoods, and responsible governance can create pathways toward long-term stability. It seeks to bridge policy and practice, dialogue and implementation, ensuring that environmental sustainability becomes a driver of peace and shared prosperity across Africa.

The Summit will be held at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from 29th September to 1st October 2026.
