[IPYG] IPYG and Global Kulture Organization's Environmental Protection and Peace Promotion Event in India

Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The  DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.

Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.

How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.

Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.

Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.

I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding IPYG and Global Kulture Organization's Environmental Protection and Peace Promotion Event in India :)

IPYG and Global Kulture Organization, Environmental Protection and Peace Promotion Event in Nandi Hills, Bangalore, India

▲ Representatives of multinational corporations participating in the campaign

On June 29th, a successful Global Harmony Tree-Planting Campaign aimed at promoting environmental protection and peace was held at Nandi Hills in Bangalore, India.

HWPL, IPYG, Global Kulture Organization, and the Youth of India Foundation co-hosted this event. Sixteen multinational corporations (MNCs) participated, and 250 volunteers came together to make meaningful changes for the local community and the planet.

Participants planted 250 fruit trees around Nandi Hills, contributing to climate change mitigation and environmental conservation efforts. These trees are expected to enhance biodiversity in the area, and will have a positive, long-term impact on carbon absorption and reduce the effects of climate change.

▲ Participants carrying saplings to plant

The campaign went beyond just planting trees. Participants discussed the importance of tree-planting, environmental protection, and social responsibility for sustainable development. The event provided an opportunity for corporations and local communities to explore collaborative efforts. The multinational companies involved gained an important opportunity to fulfill their social responsibilities and positively impact the community and the environment.

IPYG and HWPL emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships. Joseph Cho, general director of the IPYG Global 5 Branch, produced a video introducing IPYG and expressing gratitude to the representatives of the 16 corporations and youth leaders from all over India who gathered for the event.

▲ Tree-planting activity

“This tree-planting campaign holds deep significance beyond environmental protection. It provided a valuable opportunity for young people to actively engage in environmental protection, community development, and the global practice of peace and inclusion,” said Arun Sivag Ganesh, founder of the Global Kulture Organization. “This moment showed that planting a single tree can lead to significant change in the future.”

IPYG will continue collaborating with the Global Kulture Organization to pursue sustainable development and global cooperation. Various initiatives will continue to empower youth across the globe to overcome cultural barriers and practice peace and inclusion. A peaceful world begins with our small actions.
