Building lasting peace

Currently, access to natural resources, water, and healthcare have the potential to be the source of violent conflicts between populations and nations.

•    Water is dangerous to the health of thousands of men, women and children

•    The polluted environment in which they live is dangerous

•    Counterfeit medication is dangerous

•    Deserts expand and conflicts for fertile land multiply

•    Forests and the populations living therein are threatened

•    As they disappear, their collective memory, so precious for future generations, runs the risk of being erased

And yet, efficient, low cost solutions exist for:

•    access to clean water and sanitation (See the program)

•    access to quality medication and healthcare (See the program)

•    the safeguarding of forests and the struggle against expanding deserts (See the program)

•    the preservation of cultural diversity (See the program)

This is why the Fondation Chirac fights to:

•    Infomr the world about the threats that are weighing on the environment and the daily lives of certain populations

•    Alert leaders at the highest levels of the urgency of targeted action to prevent conflicts

•    Ensure better access to clean water, healthcare, food safety

•    Protecting the environment and the diversity of the world’s cultures

•    Diffuse practical solutions
