Pyeongchang Peace Forum 2021
“Be careful, don’t tear down the systems that are helping 90% sharing more wealth at any time in world history to help the 10 percent what we can’t do is neglect that 10."
PyeongChang Peace Forum 2021 had a theme of "Action Plan: Peace New Deal." While listening to this forum, one of the parts that had a spark on me was the response with this question, "How can this forum really help to contribute to peace from the world food program perspective?" The response to this was, Well art peace is a very elusive thing you don’t appreciate it till you don’t have it you know, and when you think about how much peace has been brought with prosperity around the world. Not many people realize that 200 years ago 95% of the people on earth were in extreme poverty today less than 10.
So I tell a lot of the young people: We need to improve the systems, tweak the systems, enhance the system, and reach that final 10% out there because they are not experiencing this better way of life and so peace is critical if people don’t have food, don’t have some degree of economic and food stability, you will have conflict, you will not have peace, you will have war and when you look around the world today, its heartbreaking art to see.
Especially the phrase, "be careful" made me realize the severity of wealth. I thought that this was really important to our service organization since one of our UNSDGs was peace, justice, and strong institutions.
Throughout this forum, I have learned a lot and was able to build up ways to bring justice within this service organization, how to take action. I would like to attend this forum once again next year to learn more about other parts of bringing peace to society.
