100-Day Countdown to the International Day of Peace 2023

12 June 2023

Message of UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Our world needs peace – now more than ever.

Yet conflict, rising inequalities, persistent injustices, humanity’s war on nature, and a global financial system that is outdated, dysfunctional and unfair, are blocking the path to peace.

This year’s International Day of Peace will focus on “Actions for Peace” and how the Sustainable Development Goals are essential to preventing conflict and maintaining peace.

The 100-day countdown to the International Day of Peace starts now.

Together, let us take action now to build a more inclusive, sustainable, and peaceful world for all.
