Part of Salzburg Global's Peace & Justice Pillar

Our Purpose

The Pathways to Peace Initiative addresses urgent geopolitical challenges by providing a forum for open and critical dialogue on key issues affecting political, strategic, economic, and cultural relationships. 

As an organization dedicated to international peace and justice since 1947, Salzburg Global provides a space for candid exchange among senior thought leaders of divergent views to advance concrete progress on critical issues.
