In this captivating episode we explore the evolving landscape of diplomacy and its pivotal role in fostering peace. Our guest, David Harland, the Executive Director of the Geneva Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue and a member of the UN Secretary General's High Level Advisory Board on Mediation, shares his vast experience and insights.

We cover the historical trajectory of diplomacy for peace, from its post-World War II successes to its recent decline, particularly over the past two decades. David discusses how diplomacy once effectively addressed existential threats, such as nuclear warfare, through strategic negotiations and treaties.

As we face new global challenges like climate change, pandemics, and artificial intelligence, David offers a critical analysis of how diplomacy has transformed and how it might adapt. He introduces concepts like "shifting constellations" and "hybrid diplomacy," highlighting the role of alternative actors, including NGOs and private companies, in today's diplomatic landscape.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of diplomacy, the importance of setting priorities, and the potential for new diplomatic frameworks to address the pressing issues of our time. As we navigate this complex terrain, the question remains: will we assemble the tools necessary for a sustainable future?
