Contemporary Challenges to World Order
: Establishing a New Era of Peace and Prosperity
Humanity is facing unprecedented, multilayered crises. The climate and environmental crises caused by careless stewardship over nature, along with humanitarian crises including famine, refugees, and slaughter, stemming from conflicts worldwide, are threatening human. The fate of the Korean Peninsula also stands at a crossroads, where 80 years since liberation have become entrenched as 80 years of division. Finding new approaches to deal with global crises, and end the Korean people's hardships, is more urgent than ever. WORLD SUMMIT 2025 aims to strengthen interreligious, interracial, and transnational cooperation to end the era of conflict and confrontation and establish a new world order for an era of peace and prosperity.
In particular, the Asia Pacific Union (APU), proposed by President Hak Ja Han Moon in 2019 as a new civilizational sphere for our time, will be formalized through the Universal Peace Charter (UPC) and the 2025 Peace Declaration, invigorating momentum for peace on the Korean Peninsula and world peace.
