Dear readers,
Join us in person or online at the Geneva Peace Talks and the Global People's Summit. This week’s events are about forging peace and addressing the most urgent global challenges. At IRIN, we believe the media has an important role to play in building empathy and understanding between people. We can’t respond effectively to complex problems without thoughtful consideration of their root causes and implications.
