Dear esteemed colleagues and guests, It is with warm excitement that I invite you to the Global Press Peace Summit (GPPS 2026) hosted in collaboration with Eco Park Global Initiative, Impact Afrika and UNESCO.
This is a the definitive global assembly dedicated to the protection, advocacy, and professional resilience of media practitioners operating in high-risk environments.
Across the world, journalism is becoming one of the most dangerous professions. According to findings highlighted in the concept note, attacks on journalists now follow deliberate military and political patterns rather than accidental wartime exposure .
This summit brings together journalists, governments, peacebuilders, academics, and global partners committed to protecting those who risk their lives to report from conflict zones and humanitarian crises around the world.
Violence against journalists continues to rise, yet accountability and protection remain limited in many parts of the world. The Global Peace Summit Kenya 2026 creates space for meaningful dialogue, policy engagement, research, photography, and documentary storytelling that reflect the realities faced on the frontlines.
This summit stands as a shared commitment to peace, justice, human dignity, and the protection of truth.
At the heart of every free society is a free press. Yet today, journalists are being silenced, threatened, and killed at an alarming rate.
This is why the Global Press Peace Summit 2026 is so urgent. It is a rallying cry for everyone who believes that a better world is possible. It is a platform to forge the Nairobi Declaration – a powerful new framework for global accountability.
Our goal is simple: to protect the protectors of truth. We invite you to join us in Nairobi and be part of a legacy of peace.
