A look at two of the biggest challenges facing our world today - war and conflict - and how we are tackling them War and conflict have been part of the human experience for thousands of years, and take many different forms - from diplomatic cold wars to full-blown conflicts lasting many years. All wars are damaging and harmful, not only for those on the frontline, but for innocent people and children everywhere. So what can we do to make our world more peaceful? How can we build a better, fairer, more equal, cleaner world?
