Why the world is not fair (Yuval Noah Harari with Ian Bremmer)

In 2024, both Americans and Israelis find themselves at a turning point, with complex questions of national identity, democracy and historical justice looming large.

In the midst of Israel’s war with Hamas and on the eve of the US Presidential elections, Yuval Noah Harari publishes a new children’s book that discusses the origins of injustice and inequality: Unstoppable Us, Part 2: Why the World Isn’t Fair. In our fragmented world it seems more difficult than ever to debate such questions – but it is also more important than ever. How can people in the Middle East, the USA and elsewhere tell the difference between myth and reality?

Where is the intersection point between justice and peace? Hear Harari, one of today’s most renowned storytellers of human history and 21st century technology, tackle these questions and more – offering an incisive analysis that connects the collective decisions we make today to the national and global order of tomorrow. Recorded March 3, 2024 at 92nd Street Y, New York.

Is there a road to peace?

Our panel will cover the following topics and take your questions:

  • What will it take to bring a lasting ceasefire in Gaza?
  • Is the Biden administration able to secure a change of course by Israel as long as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is kept in power by far-right politicians opposed to any deal with Palestinians? 
  • How much damage has America’s backing for Israel done to Washington’s standing in the world – and to president Biden’s domestic political support?
  • Can the divided Palestinian factions really come together in a postwar settlement in Gaza capable of commanding international and Palestinian confidence?
  • Is a two-state solution for Israel’s conflict with Palestinians still viable as the route to a lasting peace?
  • What is the role of Israel’s Arab neighbours in bringing peace to and rebuilding shattered Palestinian communities?
  • What are the chances of the war spreading to Lebanon – and if so what would Iran do?
  • Plus many more audience questions.

Rumbo al Antropoceno (Foro de Foros, Madrid)

Tanto hemos forzado las costuras de nuestro planeta que hemos acabado generando algo inaudito en sus 4.500 millones de años de historia: que una especie viva lleve a la Tierra al borde de un cambio de época geológica. Hay que esforzarse mucho y por mucho tiempo para cambiar el ciclo vital de un planeta. Pero los humanos somos tantos, y tan voraces, que vamos camino de conseguirlo. De hecho, un grupo de influyentes geólogos sostienen que esto ya ha ocurrido, y han denominado Antropoceno a esta nueva era. Sin embargo, en una disputada y polémica votación para decidir si en efecto la Tierra ha entrado en una nueva era climática o todavía no, la mayoría de los expertos votantes decidieron que no se dan todos los requisitos para afirmar tal extremo.

La votación al más alto nivel fue reñida y tensa. Se produjo este mes de febrero. Lo que había en juego era sin duda trascendental en términos científicos e históricos. Había que dar respuesta a 15 años de investigación de un grupo de geólogos, el llamado Grupo de Trabajo del Antropoceno (GTA, o AWG en sus siglas en inglés), que desde el año 2009 ha recopilado pruebas de nuestra impronta devastadora sobre el planeta. Pesticidas, microplásticos, particulas contaminantes del carbón y el petróleo, y un largo etcétera de residuos y manipulaciones geológicas (como la devastación de entornos mineros y forestales) que, unidas y persistentes en el tiempo, nos invitan a pensar que la Tierra de hoy no es la misma Tierra de hace cien años.

Annual Review 2023

SIPRI is pleased to launch Annual Review 2023, which takes a retrospective look at the Institute’s activities and achievements during the year.

As the international system grappled with a myriad of challenges in 2023, SIPRI maintained a key role in providing data and analysis. With the Russia–Ukraine war and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict impacting issues from ecology and militarization to arms control, SIPRI’s contribution to the global conversation became increasingly vital.

Annual Review 2023 is structured into themes that cover a wide scope of security-focused topics. Each two-page spread describes SIPRI’s work on these topics and includes a list of activities ranging from publications and commentary pieces to films and events. Topics include: the intersection of food, security and conflict; the war in Ukraine; global armaments; conflict and security in West Africa; and artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. It also includes a detailed breakdown of SIPRI’s global media impact which, in 2023, saw coverage in over 70 000 news articles (compared to 59 000 in 2022) across 140 countries.

US cyber force

Late last year, the commander of U.S. Cyber Command observed that the current state of U.S. military cyber organization is unsustainable. “All options are on the table,” he said, “except the status quo.” The existing structures have led to recruitment challenges, inconsistencies in compensation and service requirements, and personnel with inadequate training and support. Bipartisan members of Congress have for a decade expressed deep concern about the inability of the existing military services to recruit, train, and equip sufficient personnel to meet growing cyber challenges.
