WHO WE ARE
The Peace Innovation Initiative
Founded in November 2021, in a foundational partnership with the University for Peace, the only university formed under a UN treaty with ability to issue degrees around the world, the Peace Innovation Initiative believes that by harnessing our collective strengths we are best positioned to build and identify the innovative tools and systems we need for the future right now.
In May of 2021, the Commission for Peace, founded by Barbara Winston, was formed with the University for Peace. The Commission for Peace brought an agenda of peace innovation to the University for Peace in a mission to redefine and renew a global commitment to peace. PII acts as a bridge, facilitating meaningful interaction between industries and various bodies traditionally operating in silos to ensure all stakeholders are at the table and actively contributing to meaningful positive impact for people and the planet.
Specifically, PII is partnered with the University for Peace and aligns with UPEACE’s mission and its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to bringing peace education to every person and every organization and business throughout the world. Together, PII is building – through data-driven, interdisciplinary, and cross-sector research – a new standard for peace innovation and putting it to practice throughout the world.
