Building Peace Through Sustainability

[Peace Portal]

This year's Peace Day Global Broadcast theme is "Building Peace Through Sustainability". We will follow the sun around the world on the UN International Day of Peace, September 21st of each year. This year live feeds from Roots & Shoots, the Peace Day Parade in Hawaii, and the Global Peace Festival will be intermixed with solutions for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. To participate in the Broadcast contact us.

The 2009 Peace Day Broadcast focused a single hour on each of the United Nations Millennium Develop Goals, defining what they are and the challenges involved in achieving them. This year's Broadcast will show the progress that has been made over the last year, solutions that can achieve these goals, and explain what each of the UN Millennium Development Goals are.
