Global Peace is designed to contribute to finding innovative solutions to the rapid exponential population growth, rapid urbanisation, destabilising climate change, a volatile global financial system, mass migration, and the ever-increasing threat of nuclear war that has placed our planet in a race against time. It is in this context that, working together for a better world, Global Peace will act as a catalyst for collaborative efforts; from the mitigation of conflict to addressing the root causes of conflict bringing together innovators, implementers, influencers and investors, harnessing twenty-first century creativity and innovation to find practical, implementable and cost-effective solutions to global challenges that have local and global consequences.
Global Peace epitomises not merely the absence of war but represents a symbiotic relationship between sustainable peace and development that focuses on our four pillars:
- Building cooperation, tolerance and shared values.
In 2019, Global Peace held Inter-Generational Dialogues in many cities and in many countries across the world as one of its innovative interventions.
What was it? The Global Peace Inter-Generational Dialogue brought together people from different age groups such as youth, adults, elders, and often policymakers, activists, and community leaders. It brought legitimacy and ownership: peace agreements last longer when all age groups feel they were part of shaping them.
Impact!
The Inter-Generational Dialogues achieved three things:
1. They built trust across age divides that are often exploited during conflict.
2. They transferred knowledge so peacebuilding isn’t reinvented every 20 years.
3. They created joint accountability, where youth aren’t just “the future,” and elders aren’t just “the past.” Everyone owns the present.
