KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 (Bernama) — The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) is hosting “Summit 2022 and Leadership Conference,” a five-day international summit with related peace events at the Jamsil Lotte Hotel in Seoul, South Korea.

World leaders from dozens of countries gather from Aug 11-15, 2022, to address paths to global peace, with a special emphasis on Africa, the Asia Pacific Region and reconciliation between North and South Korea.

UPF is a non-governmental organisation with General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. It has been hosting dozens of forums and events that promote peacebuilding with leaders of 157 nations that have diplomatic ties to North and/or South Korea, in an effort to explore prospects for the peaceful reconciliation of the Korean Peninsula.

According to a statement, the highlight of the Aug 12 opening ceremony is a presentation of a resolution to propose the development of a Peace Charter, which follows on the foundation of the Seoul Resolution signed at World Summit 2022 on February 2022 in Seoul by former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Later that same day, participants will hear about a recent UPF Fact-Finding Delegation for Peace on the Korean Peninsula from experts on Korea. In addition, a special program will feature The Washington Times, now celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The Aug 11-15 events will have in-person speakers and participants, as well as a large global audience who will join digitally via a high-tech hybrid format.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 (Bernama) — The United Nations Ocean Conference 2022 took place from June 27 to July 1, in Lisbon, Portugal, and has brought together more than 5,000 participants, including world leaders, entrepreneurs, youth, influencers, and scientists.

The conference is aimed to facilitate these stakeholders in finding science-driven innovations and solutions to respond to a multidimensional ocean crisis driven by climate change, overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution.

The Nature Conservancy (TNC), with support from Mary Kay Inc., held an event in collaboration with United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Government of Ecuador, the Jocotoco Foundation, the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands, Re:wild, and the Marine Conservation Institute.

Deborah Gibbins, Chief Operating Officer at Mary Kay said, “We’re honoured to join forces with the first type of people to develop the tools and resources needed to protect our oceans for generations to come.”

TNC and UNEP moderated the event, highlighting the critical importance of ensuring quality Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by enhancing governance, effective management, and climate resilience and the significant roles that communities, non-governmental organisations, governments, philanthropy, the private sector, and cross-sector collaborations play in effective MPAs.

The event stood out at the conference, as it emphasised the need to improve the management of existing areas, instead of promoting the establishment of new protection.

According to a statement, with less than 3 per cent of the ocean effectively protected, stakeholders call for strengthening global efforts to protect at least 30 per cent of our ocean with a focus on improving the management of existing areas, rather than promoting the establishment of new protection.

Dr. Lizzie Mcleod of TNC noted, “Effective management is foundational to achieving 30×30 commitments – a campaign to protect 30 per cent of the world’s ocean by 2030. With support from Mary Kay, TNC, UNEP, and other partners, we are developing tools for marine managers to improve marine management, support sustainable financing, and guide marine habitat restoration.
