THE FUJI DECLARATION

At a meeting in Tokyo last year it was decided that Transition World’s launch event will be linked to the launch of the Fuji Declaration, which will be presented at an event organized by The Goi Peace Foudation in collaboration with the Club of Budapest. When the sun sets behind Hamlet’s castle in Elsinore in Denmark on the 16th of May 2015 it rises on the other side of the planet – at Mount Fuji in Japan – and so turning the calendar page to the 17th of May.   At this very moment we will connect the two locations via livestream and invite the world to join us in a global meditation for peace. One Earth Choir will join with choral music from different locations around the world, and the event will be monitored by the Global Consciousness Project.

 

MORE ABOUT THE FUJI DECLARATION

The Fuji Declaration calls attention to the infinite potential that dwells within every human being and reminds us that we are part of a living universe that exhibits boundless diversity yet embraces oneness. It calls on us to co-evolve with one another and with nature in a constructive and coherent relationship.

There are an increasing number of people working in various fields—authors, activists, scientists, spiritual leaders, politicians, business leaders, and others—who share the kind of consciousness the Declaration calls for. They have deep insight into the nature of humanity and the world and are dedicated to contributing to a better future for the whole planet. Encouragingly, almost a hundred such globally-minded leaders in all fields—including Oscar Arias Sánchez, Deepak Chopra, Duane Elgin, Jane Goodall, and Muhammad Yunus—have joined this initiative as Founding Signatories, contributing their words of wisdom to the Declaration.
