Organized by the commission’s Peace and Security Working Group, the webinar will examine how increasing militarization in Europe is reshaping longstanding Nordic approaches to nuclear disarmament and peacebuilding. The discussion will also reflect on the role of churches and the wider ecumenical movement in responding to current geopolitical challenges. The webinar is the first in a five-part series designed to explore regional developments with global implications, offering perspectives from the ecumenical movement and contributing to ongoing reflections on justice, peace, and international affairs. Speakers of the webinar will include: - Peter Weiderud, special advisor for Religion in Conflict and Peacebuilding, Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs;
- Dr Tytti Erästö, senior researcher, Weapons of Mass Destruction Programme, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute;
- Dr Minna Hietamäki, Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland; and
- Fredrika Gårdfeldt, Church of Sweden and member of Swedish Priests and Pastors Against Nuclear Weapons.
Drawing on experiences from Sweden and Finland, the webinar will explore the challenges facing nuclear disarmament efforts in the current security environment and consider how churches can contribute to peace, dialogue, and advocacy for disarmament.
