From March 25 to April 30, Global Hope Supporters carried out the 366 Hope Footprints campaign around the world under the theme “Brake the Break of Earth!” in observance of International Mother Earth Day on April 22.

In line with the spirit of IVY 2026, which highlights the role of volunteers in promoting sustainable development, Hope Supporters around the world took the lead in practicing energy saving, water saving, and reducing car use in their daily lives. By doing so, they helped reduce energy waste and greenhouse gas emissions and contributed to creating a more sustainable environment. Through these efforts, they contributed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation; Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; and Goal 13: Climate Action.

During this period, 206,465 members and local residents in 68 countries took part in the following six actions, achieving an estimated carbon reduction of 160,444.9 kg.
<Power Brake! (Stop Energy Waste)>
① Unplug unused devices or turn off power strips

[What Is the 366 Hope Footprints Campaign?]
The 366 Hope Footprints campaign is a daily carbon reduction initiative carried out by Global Hope Supporters of the Church of God with a mother’s heart of care for the global family. The campaign encourages continuous participation “365 days and beyond,” with the goal of leaving “hope footprints” on the earth instead of carbon footprints. In line with international environmental observances, the campaign presents quarterly themes and encourages individuals and churches to take part in practical actions, such as using reusable cups, separating recyclables, and conserving energy and water. It also provides digital infrastructure and online spaces to ensure that anyone, anywhere, can join, thereby maximizing the potential of climate action volunteers.

From June 2024 to March 2026, a total of 997,274 people across 91 countries participated in the campaign, achieving an estimated carbon reduction of approximately 4.53 million kg.
Participants can track their daily actions and view their carbon reduction impact on the campaign website, 366motherearth.org. By sharing participation stories globally, the campaign helps foster a broad civic network dedicated to addressing climate challenges.

This campaign is conducted as part of "Climate Change Response," one of the six major areas of social contribution by the Church of God. The Global Hope Supporters strive to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across various fields, including eradicating poverty and hunger, promoting health and well-being, and creating sustainable and safe societies.

In celebration of the International Volunteer Year 2026 and the 2nd anniversary of Mother’s Love and Peace Day, the Church of God is putting the values of a mother’s love and inclusion into practice. As part of this effort, Global Hope Supporters around the world aim to carry out volunteer activities at least twice a year. Mother’s Love and Peace Day, observed on November 1, was established to mark the 60th anniversary of the church’s founding. In response to an era marked by conflict and division, the church launched the “Words of Mother’s Love That Bring Peace” campaign, which is based on mutual respect and understanding. Global Hope Supporters around the world take part in this campaign, regarding all people as one global family. They learn the value of mother’s love and put it into practice through their words and volunteer service.
