Our Global Activities
In September 2023, the Founder and President of the Lumbini World Peace Forum (LWPF), Basu Gautam, met with the Rt. Honorable Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Dinesh Gunawardena, to explore the possibilities of building a collaborative South Asian network of climate change solutions. During this visit, under LWPF’s initiative “Sustainable Tomorrow through Environmental Protection (STEP) Tour”, tree plantation programs were organized in the suburbs of Colombo. This marked a significant step in fostering Nepal–Sri Lanka cooperation for climate action, environmental protection, and the vision of a greener South Asia.
Under its global activities, the Lumbini World Peace Forum has been building meaningful collaborations across continents to strengthen the values of peace, culture, and environmental stewardship. One such significant partnership is between Nepal and Greece, highlighting the shared commitment of both nations to promote harmony and sustainability.
Lumbini World Peace Forum and Naturefriends Greece have joined hands to advance initiatives that link peacebuilding with environmental protection. Through this collaboration, the two organizations are working together to raise awareness, foster intercultural dialogue, and carry out joint programs that combine ecological conservation with the universal message of peace. This partnership reflects a bridge between South Asia and Europe—uniting efforts for a greener planet and a more peaceful world.
Lumbini World Peace Forum is proud to be an initiative of the "Artist Exchange Program for World Peace and Harmony," a series of cultural exchange events that promote mutual understanding between nations. In a significant display of this partnership, a "World Peace Exhibition" was held at the Mahmoud Mukhtar Museum in Cairo, from January 20-22, 2020. This unique exhibition, an initiative by Egyptian and Nepalese artists, was organized by the Lumbini World Peace Forum in collaboration with the Embassy of Nepal in Cairo, the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Kathmandu, and the Ministry of Culture, Sector of Fine Arts. The event was supported by Baala Art and BK Art Gallery and was a testament to the strong ties between Nepal and Egypt.
The exhibition's inauguration on January 20, 2020, was a grand success, attended by cultural exchange experts from both Nepal and the Arab Republic of Egypt. The Lumbini World Peace Forum appreciated the Egyptian government and the Mahmoud Mukhtar Museum for their support, expressing hope that such exhibitions would continue to foster creative exchange and strengthen people-to-people relations. The event's goal was to serve and promote cultural heritage and histories, with both countries reaffirming their commitment to building on the diplomatic relations that were established in July 1957. This cultural and scientific agreement serves as a foundation for further collaboration and friendship between the two nations.
Lumbini World Peace Forum and the Global Law Thinkers Society (GLTS) jointly launched the Nepal–Bangladesh Tree Plantation Movement in Dhaka under the theme “Green War, Green is Freedom.” The initiative, part of the global program “Guardian of the Earth,” brought together youth leaders from both countries to promote cross-border climate action stretching from the Bay of Bengal to the Himalayas. The event included tree plantations, leadership discussions, and the signing of an MoU between LWPF Founder Basu Gautam and GLTS Founder Raoman Smita to engage youth in building a greener, sustainable future.
