It showcases stories of transformation from communities, countries, and regions driving change across sectors — from renewable energy to gender equality.

A message from Dr. Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace, in observance of International Day of Peace, 21 September 2025.
This year’s theme, “Act Now for a Peaceful World,” is a powerful call to action. Dr. Jane Goodall reminds us that peace depends not only on how we treat one another, but also on how we care for animals and the natural world we share.
Inspired by this vision, young people in Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program are already taking action in more than 75 countries and counting—addressing food insecurity, protecting wildlife, and creating safe, inclusive communities.
As Jane often says, “Every individual can make a difference.” Each project, each act of kindness, adds up to something extraordinary: a global movement toward a more just, compassionate, and sustainable future. 🌍💚
This Peace Day, join us in taking action for peace—for people, for other animals, and for the planet.
