Nobel Peace Conference and Festival

Authoritarian rule is on the rise worldwide, and liberal democracy is in decline. How can we protect democracy and support those who are fighting for it?

panelists on stage and audience watching

The Nobel Peace Conference is the Nobel Peace Center’s annual, international peace conference, culminating a year of events about the latest peace prize.

This year, with the Nobel Peace Prize 2025 to Maria Corina Machado as a backdrop, we ask:

What are the biggest threats to democracy today?
How may we all help protect democracy in the face of rising authoritarianism?
What lessons can be learned from the democracy movement in Venezuela?
