International Day of Peace
The International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”) is observed around the world each year on 21 September.

2023 Peace Day Theme: Actions for Peace – Our Ambition for the #GlobalGoals
Fostering peace contributes to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will create a culture of peace for all. The SDGs aim to bring us closer to having more peaceful, just, and inclusive societies, free from fear and violence.
