Inviting Maltese youths to join us in this international workshop in Gozo

In light of the expected announcement tomorrow in Oslo of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the co-heads of the Tahadhari Center - which deals with socio-political processes aimed at establishing cooperation between countries in the region on climate and environmental issues - has published an opinion piece on the subject of 'What is between climate and peace' that referring to President Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly several weeks ago.
We hope that after two bloody years of war, the current days leading up to the signing of the agreement between Israel and Hamas, the conditions have been created not only for the release of the hostages and a ceasefire - but also for sustainable peace in the Middle East. The article by Carmit Lubanov and Mark Causon, discussed the above issues, and these are also the core topics that Tahadhari Center will address in the coming year, a 'climate of peace' in the Middle East and keep the climate and migration issues in the Euro-Med region on the international agenda, whoever will be awarded.
