    Saurabh Gupta is a renowned environmentalist and social entrepreneur. This young revolutionary left his lucrative job at Cafe Coffee Day to bicycle around different countries for 50,000 kilometers in search for a purpose. Meet Saurabh Gupta, the founder, and director of Earth5R, a Mumbai based global environmental organization. Winner of the Young Leader India-France award by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and the project leader of Paris Peace Forum, this exciting man is bringing a Paradigm Shift, one locality at a time. He believes that no government can do what citizens can do collectively and so he thought of solving this sustainability issue through a citizen-led program known as “ACT Global”. This mission is driven by a global community of 35,000 people and has benefitted around 1.2 million people at the bottom of the pyramid by giving them financial literacy.

    Founded by Sciences Po, the Körber Foundation, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, the Institut international des relations internationals (IFRI), the Montaigne Institute and the French Republic, represented by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the Paris Peace Forum is envisioned as a recurring, annual event to promote governance solutions in five key issues: Environment, Peace & Security, Development
    New technologies, and Inclusive economy.

    Inspired by the COP 21 model, the Paris Peace Forum will be a forum for discussion and debate with special emphasis on civil society initiatives, and for sharing experiences and innovative solutions involving all the stakeholders in governance.

    Heads of State and Government leaders, local and national elected representatives;
    regional and international organisations, especially UN agencies;
    civil society in its broadest sense: companies, associations, NGOs, foundations, think tanks, media, trade unions, religious leaders, philanthropists, experts, etc.
    With these actors, the Paris Peace Forum aims to strengthen the actions of existing multilateral organisations, primarily the United Nations, and speed up implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

    The Paris Peace Forum will also offer the right setting for convening actors from around the world to launch formal initiatives, track-two exercises, mediations and bilateral dialogues.

    The expected output of the Forum is take these projects one step further by publicizing them, vetting them through debates in various formats, and having their promoters meet the "implementers" -states, international bodies like the UN, but also G7, G20, BRICS, OECD, and many others. Several thousand participants are expected, and 150 projects will be featured in the "Space of solutions"
