Global Peace Survey

Introduction

Dear Friends of Peace,

Please demonstrate your support by participating in this anonymous survey. Thank you very much. The world needs your opinion.

Clarity of understanding on how we can achieve World Peace is essential if we are to achieve global peace. That clarity does not yet exist in the world. Therefore, we are inviting you to join the collective intelligence of qualified people from around the world to help build this understanding.
 

Please play your part by taking two simple, easy actions now:
  1. Fill in the questionnaire  (5 minutes)
  2. Send this invitation to any of your colleagues, friends and family who would want to participate in this important global effort.
  3. As a sign of appreciation we will plant one mangrove tree for each finalized survey that we will receive

If you would be interested to become part of the core team which will follow-up on the results of this survey and help achieve its priority actions, please send an email directly to go@worldpeace2035.org

This questionnaire has been reviewed and endorsed by:

Scilla Elworthy, founder of "The Business Plan for Peace" and three times nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize
