The Paris Peace Forum, taking place this week, an assemblage of some world leaders and others, will launch a call to action on a range of topics such as climate change and the regulation of artificial intelligence. It will address the need for a humanitarian conference on Gaza. The details of this humanitarian conference scheduled for today (Thursday) have not been disclosed. It is expected to receive significant world attention.
French President Emmanuel Macron, along with Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley and several African leaders, will be seized with the progress of the Paris Pact for People and the Planet launched in June. It aims to provide substantial funding to combat poverty and climate change and is in preparation for COP28 scheduled for early December in Dubai.
The focus of the forum will be to demonstrate that despite geopolitical tensions, cooperation on major issues is still possible. The Summit will conclude on Friday with President Macron and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre addressing the event. An Appeal of Paris on the Poles and Glaciers will be launched to address the collapse of all ice surfaces on a global scale.
This phenomenon will have absolutely major impacts in terms of coastal town submersion and access to clean water, as noted by the Elysée. States affected by glacier loss, such as Nepal and Kyrgyzstan, will participate, as will China and India. However, Russia will not participate due to the conflict in Ukraine, even though it is a major Arctic actor.

Another top priority for Emmanuel Macron is Digital Public Order to better regulate platforms and artificial intelligence. He will preside over the 5th Christchurch Call Summit, launched with New Zealand after the terrorist attack in Christchurch in March 2019, aiming to enhance efforts to combat terrorist and violent extremist content online. The leaders and representatives of these platforms are expected to discuss the conflict in the Middle East, as many disturbing images circulate on social media.
