The Culture of Peace Foundation (Fundación Cultura de Paz), headquartered in Madrid, Spain, and represented by its Founder and President Dr. Federico Mayor, and PANGEA WORLD, represented by Dr. Hana Ayala, ratified a Partnership Agreement at the Foundation’s headquarters on 30 May 2014.
The Foundation was created in 2000, to implement the Declaration and Action Plan for a Culture of Peace engineered by Dr. Mayor and approved by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 September 1999. It builds on the formidable accomplishment of Dr. Mayor as Director General of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, 1987-1999).
The Partnership Agreement is the result of interactions and collaborations that Dr. Mayor and Dr. Ayala have engaged in since the early 1990s and that they showcased in their respective presentations at the PANGEA WORLD event hosted by the West Coast Headquarters of the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Irvine, California on 7 February 2014.
As Partners, PANGEA WORLD and the Culture of Peace Foundation aspire to reinforce each other’s efforts to engender a new kind of international scientific, diplomatic, and economic energy for global sustainability, environmental security, and peace.
PANGEA WORLD mourns the passing of Dr. Federico Mayor on 19 December 2024. The spirit of the intellectual partnership that Dr. Mayor and Dr. Ayala formalized in 2014, and which has greatly enriched PANGEA WORLD’s global mission, will continue to prominently shape this mission.
