Faith for Earth Dialogue
Without clean water, healthy oceans, unpolluted air, fertile soil and rich biodiversity, human wellbeing is threatened. There is an urgent need to redress this balance and for the economy and society at large to reconnect with nature. Nature Based Solutions are highly relevant and deeper knowledge to lever action in the nature cycle – about its actors, the environmental and social impacts, and associated intervention strategies for a more sustainable future – is required.
Symposium of Faith Leaders in India
A symposium is scheduled with leading interfaith leaders of India on 10th September. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has collaborated with United Religions Initiative (URI) to bring faith leaders for Earth Dialogue. Religon World is digital partner to relay the LIVE session moderated by UNEP Goodwill Ambassador Actor Dia Mirza.
Faith leaders and Faith-based organizations (FBO) are key and important players to the UN system. This event will build on the ongoing engagement and strengthen the partnership between UNEP as a global institution and the faith communities in India to inspire actions and engage local actors in a meaningful partnership.
