Last month the International Peace Bureau (IPB), the world’s oldest and largest peace network, asked noted American writer Jeffrey Sachs for his ideas about how to end the war in Ukraine.

In 2021, Sachs was appointed by Pope Francis to the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. Within this role, Sachs has consistently pushed for a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine, as exhibited in the statement titled “Reaching a Just and Lasting Peace in Ukraine” published by of the Science and Ethics of Happiness Study Group in June 2022.
