INTRODUCTION:
Today, the earth is screaming with pains of conflicts and was as well
as environmental destruction. It has a number of serious ‘pains’
such as regional conflicts, terrorism, poverty and pollution of water
(the sea, the river), land (the mountain), air (the sky), the
drying-up of natural resources, the water shortage, the decrease of
the forest, the disappearance of the species, the
desertification, and the food shortage..
We
do need to change the “zero-sum” way of thinking to create one’s
own wealth by sacrificing others and at the cost of others, to
the “plus sum” way of thinking to create prosperity together and
to be prosperous together. The problem is the lack of the
conscience. For the prosperity of the human race i.e. humanity and
the preservation of the global environment i.e. nature, it is
decisively vital to regain the lost conscience and to build-up the
new earth culture based on the conscience.
We
need to make innovation for sustainable global peace in many ways.
New ways of thinking, culture, politics, business, society are
all needed.
In
the place where Mahatma Gandhi was born and raised, IPRA shall
discuss new ways and thinking for realizing global peace. We
invite all the peace researchers and peace workers to the historical
conference in India.
