Last week, Building Blocks for Peace Foundation, the regional secretariat of Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) in West Africa, participated in the regional conference themed "Migration & Climate Action in West and Central Africa: From Policy Commitment to Climate Mobility Investment," organised by the Organization for Migration in Lagos, Nigeria.

The conference brought together Ministers from across West and Central Africa, alongside senior representatives of climate funds, multilateral development banks, and regional institutions, to engage in strategic dialogue on climate-related human mobility.

The event served as an important platform for bridging policy commitments with investment action through high-level discussions and solution-oriented engagements aimed at strengthening regional responses to climate mobility challenges.

Key discussions focused on:
* Policy and Data: Governing Climate Mobility in West and Central Africa
* Human Mobility and Climate Finance: From Risk to a Shared Finance Contract
* Delivering the Pipeline: Evidence, Pathways, and Finance for Climate Mobility
* Shaping a Regional Voice on Climate Mobility: Priorities, Ownership, and Action

By engaging in these discussions, BBFORPEACE continues to bridge the gap between policy commitments and grassroots realities, amplifying youth perspectives in shaping regional responses to climate mobility challenges.

For Nigerian youth and across the world, peace is in the way we mentor, the way we create, the way we care for our environment, and the way we stand up for justice.

At Building Blocks for Peace Foundation, we see young people not as “beneficiaries” but as 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Every idea, every action, every collaboration is a brick in the foundation of lasting peace.

Let’s stop talking about youth as the future. Let’s start showing how youth are shaping peace today. 💪
