SECURING OUR WORLD’S DIGITAL FUTURE
Cybersecurity for the common good, for nonprofits, globally
30 September 2024, Peace Palace, The Hague (NL)
ANSWERING THE CALL OF HISTORY
125 years ago, The Hague Peace Convention disrupted how to design peace and justice, showing how leaders, diplomats, and philanthropists could join forces to safeguard the common good.
125 years down the line, cyberspace is the new battleground. The peace ecosystem is under attack. Non-profit organisations fighting hunger and poverty, democratising education, supporting refugees, ensuring access to clean and sanitised water, delivering humanitarian aid and healthcare, curbing gender-based violence or climate change are targeted by cyberattacks and disinformation. They are the underserved of cybersecurity - they can’t access the necessary talents, tools and financial resources.
This should stop.
These organisations service all of us.
They should be supported by all means possible.
Beyond 125 Years: Securing Our World’s Digital Future is a call to action, closely aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 16, to provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. This gathering, co-organised by the City of The Hague, the CyberPeace Institute, and the Global Cyber Alliance convene global leaders, cyber defenders, and philanthropists to take action for the digital safety of nonprofits, including through the creation of a dedicated fund for their cybersecurity - a fund to finance the cybersecurity tools, services, and platforms enabling peace and justice at global scale, and the organisations that provide these capabilities.
COMMON GOOD CYBERSECURITY TO PROTECT NONPROFITS
IS NOT ONLY ESSENTIAL, IT IS LIFE SAVING
“Where else than in the Peace Palace – on September 30 this year – the CyberPeace Institute, Global Cyber Alliance and the City of The Hague will bring together global leaders and philanthropists.
Together we will transform cybersecurity funding for international peace and justice.”
Jan van Zanen, Mayor of the Hague
