We are thrilled to announce the First Phase of Peace Circle® Pilots, launching in January 2025. What began as an idea just eight months ago has rapidly evolved into a global movement for action and transformation. Peace Circles® are more than symbols—they are essential tools for addressing today’s urgent challenges.
By blending climate action, biodiversity conservation, and peacebuilding into compact, transformative urban spaces, Peace Circles® empower cities and communities to take meaningful action for a sustainable and peaceful future.
 

A Growing Global Network

Building on successful inaugurations in Finland and Italy, the First Phase will expand to new locations, including:
 

• Pakistan (Lahore & two towns)

• Brazil (Paraná, second city TBD)

• Mexico (Monterrey)

• Equatorial Guinea (Mongomo)

• Iran (Tehran)

• India (New Delhi)
   

These cities will join a growing network of Peace Circles®, designed to promote unity, environmental stewardship, and resilience. Additional Peace Circles will also be inaugurated in Finland and Italy in 2025, reinforcing their leadership in this global initiative.
 

Ongoing discussions with cities in South Africa, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Sweden, and Belgium demonstrate strong interest in joining the movement, further expanding its global reach.
 

Milestones and Phases
 

The Vision:
 

By 2030, we aim to establish Peace Circles® in 100 countries, creating a global network dedicated to peace, sustainability, and unity. The journey begins now, with the goal of establishing Peace Circles® in 25 countries by the end of 2025, laying the foundation for this worldwide initiative.
 

Phase 1:

• Timeline: January 2024 – May 2025

• Goal: Establish Peace Circles in 10 countries by May 2025

• Focus: Foundational parks in diverse cultural and ecological settings
   

Phase 2:

• Applications Open: 30 December 2024

• Inaugurations: September – November 2025

• Goal: Expand to more cities globally, building on the success of Phase 1
   

Progress Milestones: 2024–2025

From 20 years of experience planting trees to the ambitious goal of establishing Peace Circles® in 25+ countries by 2025, this journey reflects a steady, strategic, and scalable vision for impact. Each milestone marks a step toward creating a global network of cities united by peace and sustainability.
