Russia’s war against Ukraine has shown the critical role of municipalities in crisis response, civil protection, democratic resilience, and support for residents. European communities need stronger cooperation, preparedness, and partnerships between local governments and civil society.

Utökad information om evenemanget

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the essential role of municipalities in crisis response, civil protection, humanitarian coordination, and democratic resilience. Ukrainian communities have become frontline actors in ensuring security, supporting residents, and maintaining essential services during wartime. This panel discussion will explore how municipalities can respond to global security challenges through international cooperation, civil-military partnerships, and collaboration with civil society and technology actors. Participants from Ukraine, Sweden, international organizations, and Microsoft will discuss practical experiences related to crisis preparedness, digital security, humanitarian coordination, and municipal partnerships. The discussion will also focus on strengthening cooperation between Ukrainian and Scandinavian municipalities and supporting democratic resilience in Europe.

Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

Sweden has a long history of cooperation and engagement in the Indo-Pacific. Developments in the Indo-Pacific are becoming more important for long-term security, trade, and international partnerships. How can we sustain cooperation across regions?

Utökad information om evenemanget

In this seminar ambassadors from Japan, Australia and New Zealand and a leading Swedish academic will discuss democratic security cooperation between Sweden and Indo-Pacific democracies in a global context characterised by a range of crises. An important topic is how like-minded democracies can maintain cooperation despite geographic distance and differing regional priorities. They will also discuss how economic coercion, maritime security challenges, and strategic competition shape relations within the Indo-Pacific, as well as between the Indo-Pacific and Europe. Another focus will be on the implications for Sweden’s security policy and its cooperation with Indo-Pacific democracies, including multilateral frameworks and NATO-related activities. The seminar highlights the need to actively maintain focus on long-term partnerships and shared security interests, and to ensure that cooperation between like-minded democracies is not sidelined when crises “in between” dominate attention.

Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

Close effective cooperation between national and local authorities, international actors, civil society, cultural and educational institutions are essential to bring Ukraine's victory closer.

Utökad information om evenemanget

Join us in exploring how we can transform dialogue into impactful actions, forging alliances to consolidate efforts to bring Ukraine's victory closer. Carpathian Sea Democracy Week — Ukraine’s Almedalen — an international platform born in wartime in Kyiv and Truskavets but rooted in the same democratic values that define Almedalen and Gotland today: openness, accountability, transperancy. CSDW has become a bridge between Ukraine, EU, NATO members — connecting parliamentarians, ambassadors, mayors, leaders of civil society, and international partners with the belief that dialogue must lead to consolidated actions and that Ukraine’s victory is precondition for Europe’s security. Today, on Gotland — a symbol of Nordic security — we gather to transform solidarity into strategy, and strategy into concrete commitments that bring Ukraine’s victory closer. We identify concrete steps that parliaments, governments, regions, civil society can take together to have the highest impact potential.
