About Us
The Peace-Led Climate-Friendly Sustainable Development Forum is a world-first peace-led, faith- and Indigenous-inspired global network for climate-friendly, regenerative planetary stewardship, serving leaders and institutions responsible for governing risk, resilience, and transformation at scale.
The Forum brings together more than 20 partner organizations, alongside advisors and patrons, working with partners across all 193 UN Member States to advance human and non-human well-being, strengthen ecosystem integrity, and foster stewardship within planetary-boundary systems.
The Forum recognises the historic contribution of the Brundtland definition of sustainable development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, while acknowledging that goal-based development paradigms were not designed to govern today’s polycrisis—marked by overlapping climate, ecological, social, conflict, technological, and intergenerational risks.
In a polycrisis world, goals signal intent, but systems govern outcomes.
Accordingly, the Forum advances a peace-led constitutional stewardship approach that places peace as the governing entry point, elevates faith and Indigenous wisdom as co-equal foundations, and applies systems-based governance to guide decision-making across interconnected planetary, social, economic, and technological domains.
The Forum operates as a network-of-networks, enabling intergenerational, regenerative stewardship across diverse contexts, while supporting institutions to govern sustainability and sustainable development under contemporary planetary and ethical conditions.
Our Vision
To enable a peaceful, regenerative, and just planetary future by establishing a peace-led, faith- and Indigenous-inspired constitutional stewardship architecture that safeguards human and non-human well-being, restores ecosystems, respects planetary boundaries, and upholds intergenerational dignity, resilience, and justice in a polycrisis world.
Our Mission
To advance and steward the Peace-Led, Faith- and Indigenous-Inspired Climate-Friendly Regenerative Sustainability and Sustainable Development Framework (PFICF-RSSDF) as a constitutional governance architecture that complements and, over time, succeeds legacy goal-based approaches, including the Brundtland framing and the SDGs, by governing how societies make decisions, allocate capital, and sequence transformations under conditions of systemic risk, conflict, and planetary limits.
The Forum fulfils this mission by convening and collaborating with its core audiences – governments, UN agencies, multilateral and regional organisations, development banks, the private sector, faith-based and Indigenous institutions, civil society, academia, and think tanks – to:
- Place peace at the centre of decision-making across interconnected systems
- Strengthen system-level governance integrity and accountability
- Surface and manage trade-offs before harm occurs
- Align standards, finance, and innovation with long-term planetary and social resilience
- Support vulnerable communities through peace-led, regenerative pathways grounded in justice, trust, and shared responsibility
Who the Forum Serves
The Forum primarily supports:
- Public leaders and policymakers in governments, central banks, and regulatory institutions
- Multilateral and regional organisations, UN agencies, and development banks
- Private-sector institutions, investors, and standard-setters shaping capital allocation, innovation, and risk governance
- faith-based and Indigenous institutions, civil society organisations, academia, and think tanks engaged in peace, climate, and governance Together, these actors share responsibility for long-term decision-making, systemic risk management, and the protection of human and non-human well-being across generations.
