PEACE—Peace is the absence of conflict and violence, encompassing social justice, equality, and well-being conditions. It involves negative peace (the absence of direct violence) and positive peace (the presence of social systems supporting justice and equity).
TRUST—Trust is the reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, and reliability of people, institutions, and systems. It is essential for building cohesive societies and enabling cooperation and collective action.IMPACT ON LIFE AND ECONOMIES
Social Stability—Peace and trust contribute to social stability by reducing violence and fostering a sense of security and community.
Economic Growth—Economies flourish in peaceful and trustworthy environments as they attract investment, promote trade, and enable sustainable development.
Human Development—Peace and trust are crucial for improving health, education, and overall quality of life. They allow societies to focus on development goals rather than conflict resolution.
Governance—Effective governance is built on trust between citizens and institutions, leading to better policy implementation and improved public services.IMPACT
The designation of 2025 as the International Year of Peace and Trust came at a critical time due to several pressing global issues:
Global Conflicts—Ongoing conflicts and tensions in various regions of the world needed urgent attention and resolution through peaceful means.
Pandemic Impact—The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated inequalities and mistrust, highlighting the need for solidarity, cooperation, and trust in public health measures and recovery efforts.
Social Divisions—Rising polarization and social divisions within and between countries called for efforts to promote dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation.
Sustainable Development—Achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires a foundation of peace and trust, as they are interlinked with issues like poverty, education, and climate action.
The International Year of Peace and Trust aims to address these challenges by promoting peace and trust values globally. The initiative seeks to create a more stable, prosperous, and harmonious world by fostering an environment of cooperation and understanding.
