Environmental justice is the principle, concept, and practice that all human beings should have equal and equitable rights to enjoy safe physical environment. Due to increasing pollutions caused by industrialization, economic development and man-made other activities, however, environmental justice is denied to various poor segments of populations across the world. In order to address the growing inequalities and inequities for safe environment to these affected communities, environmental justice movement has emerged and accelerated during the past few decades. This article presents an analysis of the concept and practices of environmental justice within a global context. The article also highlights the roles and responsibilities of the public, business and NGO sectors in promoting environmental justice

A step toward world peace could be achieved by Korea, Japan, and the United States jointly celebrating their promotion of cherry blossom festivals based on Jeju Island native Prunus Yeodensis, or Somei- Yoshino Cherry trees. Based on bio-diplomacy, this celebration of new beginnings and the emphemeral nature of the material world could be a foundation for peace-building by these three nations and others and for putting aside past grievances.

When we think about an idea of United Nations Tolerance Program UNTP, it is important for us to share memory with world citizens that we had 2314 veterans from 11 countries in the Busan U.N. Forces Cemetery since January of 1951. Recently, we had 13 veterans, who got buried coming from 4 Americans, 3 Hollanders, 2 Frenchmen, 2 Germans, 2 Englishmen, 1 Canadian and 1 headband after they died in their countries. (Joongang daily newspaper June 19, 2022). "I believe that creating a fifth office of the UNTP in Republic of Korea (Seoul, Busan, Kyunggi or Jeju Island), as a twin organization of the UNEP in Nairobi, Kenya, would provide a geopolitical balance to the international organization and a useful base for peace island studies in the conflict laden region of East Asia. Establishing this office in S. Korea(Seoul, Busan, Kyunggi or Jeju Island), with its unique geographical location as a hub for peace talks and environmental negotiations between Russia, North Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan, would contribute to peace and development in the region." (Yates. 2022).

We study the necessity of UN Asia headquarters in this article based on the case factual evidence from Korean history incorporating late 19C to current. We organize our arguments from two perspectives that are 1) Nation founding philosophy and 3) Business and Economics. In this article we attempt to find supportive evidence that why the home of the UN Asia headquarter should be located in the Korea peninsular. This paper is a written statement for the presentation of 2022 International Summer School Proceedings of World Peace Bulteok Meeting.

Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world & cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human.” In 1996, the National Commission for UNESCO of the Republic of Korea and the UNESCO Unit for Tolerance organized the International Meeting of Experts for the Establishment of an Asia and Pacific Regional Network Against Intolerance, Discrimination and Violence. The 20 regional participants discussed the problems and challenges of the region, they named institutional coordinators, and they outlined lines of action. They also established a Research Centre for Tolerance at Gwangju University. Let us rekindle this initiative to demonstrate, to model and to lead what it means to respect, accept and appreciate the diversity of our world’s culture, our forms of expression and ways of being human.

The role of the women divers (Haenyo and their unique meeting place (Buleok)of peace to solve disputes is another feature of Jeju Peace Island that recommends it as a locus for peace action. Sammu speaks of neighbourly-ness, although the concept itself refers to three elements lacking on Jeju: The Thief, the Gate and the Beggar. Going deep into the peasant past, Jeju islanders held virtues ``diligence, thrift and interdependence”. This meant that no one was moved to become a thief, there was no need for a secure Gate and, so, the Beggar was not found either. Jeju Islander society and culture was without avarice and promoted values of independence, self-reliance and honor. Entry to a traditional Jeju compound was barred by a Jeongnang or log that showed that the homeowner was away and, so, no one crossed the threshold out of respect. All of this may sound rather negative and stern were it not for Samryeo, the “Three Treasures” in the developing heritage of Jeju peace culture, taken to be Nature (folklore, native industries), Crops of special use, such as marine products and, today, tourism; finished off with Generosity of the beauty of nature, including controls on the level of industry so as to preserve the natural blessings. Whilst in keeping with the three-part philosophy of ancient Jeju, Samryeo is a development from 1960 and more recent times, as Jeju and South Korea recovered from the Jeju Tragedy. Indeed, it is only in 2003(English edition in 2013) that the final definitive report on these disturbing events has been compiled and published. Like the Mangaian war ax, the Jeju Tragedy is a constant reminder of the need for peace and the avoidance of violence and war for harmony of civilization.”.

Jeju is famous as a tourist attraction for both domestic and foreign tourists. Jeju has emphasized the importance of an English-friendly environment to meet the expectations of foreign tourists as international awareness of Jeju has increased. However, a lot of studies have mainly concentrated on the linguistic effects of English learning. This is the appropriate time to proceed with the nonlinguistic effects of English learning during English learning processes through English learners’ investment construction based on their imagined communities.
