The Elders publish annual reports detailing the organisation's income and spending activity. Work The Elders use their independence, collective experience and influence to work for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet. In their 2023-27 Strategy, The Elders' focus will be on three existential threats -- the climate crisis, nuclear weapons and pandemics -- and the continuing scourge of conflict. The Elders also have four cross-cutting commitments across all initiatives: human rights, gender equality and women's leadership, multilateralism and intergenerational dialogue.

They will use their moral voice to challenge world leaders, embolden multilateral approaches, and mobilise civil society. This includes advocating for more voices to be heard in decision-making, particularly women and youth. Conflict The Elders will focus their efforts on advocating for
