The Africa Peace and Environment Summit is a continental platform that brings together diverse stakeholders to promote dialogue, collaboration, and action on the strong link between peacebuilding and environmental sustainability across Africa.

As the continent faces growing security and environmental challenges, there is a need for community-led conversations that unite leaders, civil society, youth, faith communities, academia, and development partners to work towards a greener, more peaceful, and sustainable Africa.

Through APES, partners share ideas, build meaningful collaborations, and inspire practical action for the future of our people, our planet, and our shared prosperity.

APES 3

29TH SEP -1 ST OCT 2026

University of Dar es Salaam ,Tanzania

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.
