A joint initiative with ANT-Hiroshima

Green Legacy Hiroshima is an initiative started by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and ANT-Hiroshima, to spread worldwide the seeds - and the peace message - of trees that survived the atomic bombing.

グリーン・レガシー・ヒロシマは、原爆を生き抜いた樹木の種と、木々が伝える平和のメッセージを世界中に届けることを目的として、国連訓練調査研究所（ユニタール）とANT-Hiroshimaが立ち上げた取り組みです。
