The Stockholm Forum creates a bridge between the global policy, research and practitioner spheres, and provides a neutral platform and safe space for sharing knowledge, practice and solutions.  

The Stockholm Forum 2025 is hosted by SIPRI, co-convened with the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA) and with the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida). 

Individual sessions will be led, designed and organized by the Stockholm Forum partners. As 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the UN Security Council Resolution on the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda, this year’s Forum will pay particular attention to the role of young people, youth voices and intergenerational dialogue in shaping the future of peacebuilding. There will also be a special focus on encouraging private sector participation in the Forum, including through (co)organization of sessions. 

Like previous iterations of the Stockholm Forum, the 2025 Stockholm Forum will convene participants from around the world, with emphasis on representation of policymakers, civil society leaders and practitioners from the Global South.
