About Think Tank 2022

UPF, which unveiled Think Tank 2022 in May 2021 as one of its main projects, is mobilizing its worldwide network in this effort, reaching leaders in all sectors of society. Utilizing online forums, webinars and strategic discussions, world leaders and influencers are joining a global network of experts to examine all aspects of a peaceful reunification. Topics range from economics and trade to the role of China and the fate of the Demilitarized Zone, which has become a pristine environment and has been suggested as an ideal place for a fifth global UN office and a world peace park.

Over the next two years, 2021-2022, Think Tank 2022 will carry out a very ambitious slate of programs and projects for peaceful reunification, working through the primary associations of UPF—ISCP, IAPP, IAPD, IMAP, IAAP, IAED, IAFLP, and IAACP. This initiative will take shape initially through a three-step process, each exploring ways to move from a frozen conflict toward a relationship characterized by mutual respect, cooperation, and eventually reconciliation between the governments and the peoples of the two Koreas.

“Think Tank 2022 is a virtual think tank that is actively gathering the wisdom and expertise of people around the world who want to see peace on the Korean Peninsula. We will explore every avenue to break through the barriers to lasting peace in this troubled region, which has been divided for nearly 70 years.” 


- Dr. Thomas Walsh, Chairman of Universal Peace Federation
