The pandemic of COVID-19 is directly, or indirectly, affecting millions of people across the planet. Although the challenge is shared around the world, each country, each community and each person experiences is it from their own circumstances and uncertainties and, thus, the futures they face are different. Wherever it is present, COVID-19 is disruptive to social dynamics and public policies. This disruption may provoke additional threats to peace and security. However, it could also generate reflections and responses that could construct new realities that are supportive, sustainable and just.
The series “Covid Impacts on Peace and Security” aims at sharing reflections on the consequences of the pandemic around the world from a peacebuilding perspective.
