The Planetary Peace Partnership invites all UNFCCC Parties to invest in lasting security by nurturing a regenerative economy for future generations, in harmony with the planet
Climate leaders, peace advocates and youth change-makers call for investment in climate action, nature restoration and regeneration of the Earth
Antalya, Türkiye | 9 November 2026, COP31 Opening
As world leaders, climate advocates and young change-makers gather at COP31 in Antalya, the Planetary Peace Partnership (PPP) brings a hopeful proposition to the table: the most lasting security any nation can offer its citizens grows from a regenerative economy in harmony with the planet. Throughout COP31, and at a special press event ahead of Youth Day, the Partnership will spotlight the vital connections between climate action, peacebuilding and intergenerational leadership.
Co-created by Climate Bridges and the Club of Rome, with support and contributions from the One Home For Humanity and the Caux Foundation, the Planetary Peace Partnership is a global initiative advancing a broader vision of peace: regenerative relationships between people, nature and future generations. The climate, ecological, geopolitical and social challenges of our time share a common root in our separation from the Earth and from one another. The Partnership invites every leader and every citizen to align within, in their own choices, institutions and budgets, so that peace with the Earth becomes the natural expression of who we are. Its central message is clear: realising we are part of the Earth, acknowledging nature simply reflects how peaceful we are, and peace among people across generations and peace with new technologies are all interconnected.
At COP31, this vision offers Parties an opportunity to connect climate action with the security and prosperity their citizens expect, built on trust, dialogue, collaboration and shared responsibility. It also highlights the importance of youth voices in shaping a regenerative economy that protects both people and the planet, today and for generations to come.
The Planetary Peace Partnership brings together three interconnected areas of action:
Climate & Nature: Restoring ecosystems and strengthening regenerative relationships with the living world.
Diplomacy & Peace: Building trust, fostering dialogue and supporting cooperation across cultures and generations.
Human Collective Intelligence & Technology: Ensuring emerging technologies and Artificial Intelligence truly serve human dignity, planetary wellbeing and peaceful futures.
By bringing these dimensions together, the Partnership seeks to strengthen collective capacity to address systemic challenges and turn shared values into meaningful action.
The invitation to Parties at COP31
The Partnership invites every Party to:
Place climate and nature at the heart of national security strategies, Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans.
Invest in climate action and nature restoration with at least the same ambition brought to defence, nurturing a regenerative economy that creates work and purpose for future generations.
Bring young people into national delegations and decision-making.
Join the Planetary Peace Partnership on the pathway to the Leadership Gathering in Caux (March 2027) and the Planetary Peace Summit and Forum at the UN in Geneva (June 2027).
Voices of the Partnership
“The presence and engagement of the Planetary Peace Partnership leaders at COP31 will be an opportunity to recognise that climate action is not only about emissions and targets; it is first about the relationships, trust and collective responsibility needed to build a future in which people and the planet can thrive together.”
Carlos Álvarez Pereira, Secretary General of the Club of Rome, Board Member of Climate Bridges
“ Championing planetary peace starts by being at peace with ourselves, with others and with nature. I call this “Being One with the Earth”: aligning body, heart and mind as individuals, and working as “One family for One Earth” as a collective.
Nowadays, citizens look to their leaders for security. The most lasting security a nation can invest in is a stable climate and thriving nature: food on the table, water in the well, homes that withstand the storm and livelihoods that endure. Investing just 1% of GDP in climate action would fulfil the promise of the Paris Agreement, and the returns reach every household and every generation. We are joining the call of the COP President, H.E. Murat Kurum, calling on all Parties to invest far more in climate than the 5% of GDP promised by NATO for defence, because a thriving Earth is the foundation of planetary peace, today and for future generations.”
Elise Buckle, Founder & CEO of Climate Bridges, Member of the Club of Rome
“Systems transformation requires close attention to our social systems and values. The pursuit of planetary peace demands substantial work on our collective mindset, connecting inner and outer transformation, and seeing that we are all connected in what we call “Inter-Being”. To realise the deep and rapid transformation required by the crises, and as called for by the UN Secretary General António Guterres, it is vital to embody a sense of mutual interdependency, both with each other and with our planetary home.”
Paul Shrivastava, Co-President of the Club of Rome
“We already have what we need to build a secure and sustainable future. Planetary peace grows from an economy of enough: one that uses fewer materials and less energy, and gives us more time, healthier communities and greater focus on what makes life worthwhile. A socially just economy, underpinned by a regenerative financial system, moves us from a model that depletes us to one that uplifts us. Investing in the restoration of the Earth is the most secure investment any nation can make for its people, and for the generations who follow. That would be more than enough for all of us.”
Steve Rocco, Co-Founder of the Arketa Institute
“Around half of humanity is under thirty, and we are ready. Young people are already restoring forests, rebuilding soils, designing clean energy and caring for our communities. A regenerative economy can employ more people than the one we inherited, so that every young person can live their purpose. When people live their purpose, peace emerges. We invite leaders to invest in this future with us, so our generation inherits a world where people and planet thrive together.”
Dikshya Subedi, Youth Leader from Nepal, Founder of Youth Action for Sustainable and Eco Nepal (YASEN), Member of Climate Bridges
“Painting mountains around the world in gale force winds and blizzards has taught what masters and indigenous communities have known for thousands of years: separation is a very persistent illusion. So, when we embrace what we resist most in another whether it’s our partner, our neighbour, our government, another political leader or even the environment, peace emerges. Peace is our natural state. Like Michelangelo revealing the angel in the marble, embracing resistance is the fastest way to create security, a truly regenerative economy and change the climate in our families, communities, companies, countries and world. We are the climate we are trying to change.”
Alexander Inchbald, Climate Artist, Author and Founder, UNITED, Masterpiece, Summit of Summits
A regenerative economy, with collaboration and peace at its core, is ready to grow. The Planetary Peace Partnership invites young people, civil society, policymakers and other stakeholders to join the Partnership, co-create and shape this emerging vision and contribute to a future grounded in regeneration, cooperation and planetary responsibility.
