Dr. Abeysinghe highlighted how GGGI’s vision for a low-carbon, resilient world of strong, inclusive and sustainable growth fits well to address the twin crises. The discussion was based on the report ‘Environment of Peace’ produced by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).  Ambassador and Deputy Minister for Climate Change, MOFA, Korea and Dr. Dan Smith, Director of SIPRI joined the Panel for the discussion.
