Faith and climate
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, at its current meet COP28 in Dubai, is including the appeal signed by representative of world religions, calling for political leaders to take meaningful action to respond to the urgent crisis of climate change.
The faith pavilion at COP28 includes faith-based organisations (FBOs) and religious leaders or their representatives, to convey the message that religious and spiritual communities and their green practices are vital to strengthen the fight against climate change, and to help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The UN Environment Programme launched the Faith for Earth Coalition with the Interfaith Coordination Group on Climate Change to promote action at COP28.
Any statement of intent is a good starting point that can lead up to affirmative action according to principles laid down by FBOs and spiritual leaders who promote ways to heal the environment.
