Half of the people on our planet are 30 years or younger — representing the biggest, most educated, connected and diverse youth generation we’ve ever seen. However, despite their numbers and potential, young people around the world continue to face systemic barriers to meaningful participation in decisions that affect their lives. Changing this is not only a matter of rights — it’s a global strategy because empowered, young people consistently demonstrate the vision, leadership and resilience needed to prevent conflict, strengthen social cohesion and build a more peaceful, just and sustainable future for all. This #PeaceDay, discover how we’re committed to empowering young people and let’s act now for a peaceful world—with and for youth! https://lnkd.in/ecVViUW3 #YouthLead

The world spent $2.7 trillion on war last year, but only 2% of that on peacekeeping and peacebuilding. Wars erase decades of progress and spill across borders. On this #PeaceDay, we call for urgent action to invest in prevention, support local peacebuilders, and protect hard-won development gains. https://go.undp.org/waV

With half of our budget invested in fragile and crisis-affected settings, we help countries anticipate, prevent, respond to, and recover from crises.

True peace often begins far from negotiation tables—in villages, forests, riversides, and farms where communities live and lead. Ahead of Sunday's #PeaceDay, our Equator Initiative turns the spotlight on Indigenous Peoples and local communities protecting 80% of the planet’s biodiversity. Despite facing disproportionate risks from conflict, they are showing that healing nature is also a pathway to healing each other. From coffee farms in Colombia to forests in Myanmar, from pastoral lands in Ethiopia to the rivers of Ecuador, these #EquatorPrize winners remind us that peace has many forms, but one heartbeat.
