The Global Energy Parliament warmly welcomes you to a powerful global conversation for our 15th annual session. This year’s theme — "Inner Heat, Outer Heat: The Emotional Climate Shaping Our World" — looks at how emotional tensions and environmental instability are rising together in our world... From surging social conflicts to the rapid chemical changes in our oceans and soils, both human beings and nature are showing signs of imbalance.

    •     What’s the connection between how we feel and how our planet functions?


    •     How do emotional stress and environmental degradation feed each other?


    •     And more importantly—how can we cool things down?

Over two days, we’ll hear from international experts, scientists, thought leaders, and Members of Parliament as they present new research, policy ideas, and practical solutions to restore emotional and environmental balance. You’ll have the chance to join discussions, contribute your insights, and help shape real actions for a better future.

This event is open to everyone—not just academics or professionals. If you care about peace, mental health, climate, well-being, or policy, your voice matters here.

The Parliamentary Format

We are the first and only global parliament, designed for human beings who feel a responsibility to improve the conditions of life on Earth. People from all nations join together and examine some of the most formidable challenges facing the world today, collaborating on innovative, viable and science-based solutions in a spirit of harmony, peace, and brotherhood.

The Global Energy Parliament encourages meaningful exchanges and collaborations in a structured democratic process – devoid of politics.

Every Member of Parliament has a voice, and to give time to all, we have a formal structured format. The Honourable Speaker controls the discussions. Members of Parliament can raise questions, give submissions, respond to others, and vote.

The programme begins with an Inaugural Function which includes speeches by distinguished guests and the Founder's Address, which provides the vision for the session of parliament.

Parliament begins with new Members taking an oath followed by the Question Hour where Members can ask questions to the Ministers. Afterwards, we will have a hearing of experts who are called to give testimony on the topic, with time for MPs to ask questions. Call-Attention Motions may be allowed (if time permits) on matters of urgency.

Ministers will submit draft Bills, and discussions will be held, followed by voting. Members will make submissions, and discussions will be held, followed by voting on resolutions.

Based on their research work, Members draft Written Submissions before Parliament. During parliament, they deliver them as short Oral Submissions. Learn more about Submissions.

Our aim is to arrive at decisions on recommendations to the world's governments and international agencies, that will become a Resolution or an Act of Parliament. We share these with all governments and international agencies worldwide.

The Organizer

The Global Energy Parliament (GEP) is an international body working for science, sustainability, and peace, founded by His Holiness Jagadguru Swami Isa. We are a pioneering international parliament that welcomes individuals dedicated to global responsibility and inner transformation as Members of Parliament.

Our Mission is to provide recommendations and strategies, backed by scientific research.

Our Vision is to develop human thought about the relationship between internal and external energy, promote and develop scientific research on energy, create legislation and problem-solving strategies based on the science of energy, and create public awareness about energy balance.

Since 2010, GEP has organized annual international sessions of parliament bringing together scientists, thinkers, artists, activists, and global citizens. The Acts and Resolutions of the Parliament are conveyed to the world's governments annually.

GEP is founded on Swami Isa’s unified theory called the I-Theory. Its premise is that everything in the universe is a manifestation of vibration (energy), the most basic unit of which is called an I-particle.

The parent organization of the GEP is the Isa Viswa Prajnana Trust (IVPT), a charitable organization founded in 2000 with Special Consultative Status to the United Nations ECOSOC.
