The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) United Kingdom, has honoured Canon Otto, a Nigerian Environmentalist and founder/Convener of Global Sustainability Summit with an international Peace Ambassadorial Award.
The award ceremony which held at the Universal Peace Federation UK's London HQ during the weekend, was in recognition of his efforts in the advocacy for the propagation and embrace of Sustainability practices and policy reforms across the world, and amongst governments, corporations and communities.
In a statement which was made available via electronic mail, Otto stated that the recognition was not just about him but about all who quietly yet powerfully striving to make a difference.
The statement reads in part: "We we are ensuring clean water for communities, planting trees to sequester carbon, advocating for mental health, providing education for every child, standing up against injustice or empowering the vulnerable, these are the true seeds of peace."
"When we neglect these efforts, unrest takes root, leading to protests, revolts and erosion of harmony. But when we invest in our planet, nurture our people and protect our future, we lay the groundwork for lasting peace. It's in these seemingly small actions where true transformation happens."
"As word spread, more people joined our cause, planting trees, restoring the natural beauty of the area and transforming it into a safe haven where children could play freely."
"That small spark of effort ignited a powerful wave of change, inspiring countless others to embark on similar projects across various locations, each one leaving a lasting impact on their communities. Together let us keep making that difference", Otto stated.
