GSIA’s Commitment to Bridging Continents and Uniting the World

Care to Change the World

What is the Flag of Planet Earth?

The International Flag of Planet Earth is a concept designed to represent all of humanity and our shared responsibility for the planet. Created by Swedish artist Oskar Pernefeldt, the flag features seven interlocking rings set against a deep blue background. This simple yet powerful design conveys a message of unity, interconnectedness, and our collective duty to protect and cherish the Earth.

Symbolism of the Flag

Interconnected Rings: The seven interlocking rings symbolize the intricate and interdependent relationships between all countries, cultures, and individuals. Just as these rings are linked together, so too are we connected through our shared home, Earth.
Blue Background: The deep blue background represents the Earth’s oceans, which cover the majority of our planet’s surface and are vital to life. It also signifies the vastness of space, reminding us that Earth is our common vessel in the cosmos.
Seven Rings: The number seven reflects the seven continents, emphasizing that every part of the world is included in this vision of unity. It also highlights the idea that cooperation and mutual respect among all regions are essential for global harmony.

The Message of the Flag

The Flag of Planet Earth is more than just a visual symbol; it embodies a profound message of global solidarity. It encourages us to see beyond national borders and individual differences, recognizing that we all share a common destiny on this planet. The flag serves as a reminder that our actions have a global impact and that we must work together to ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for all.
