As the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) places an emphasis on “Effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution”, so too are faith-actors in evaluating how they continue to promote effective multilateralism.
The Faith for Earth Coalition is pleased to publish this position paper (coming soon).
The Faith for Earth Dialogue at UNEA 5.2 already positioned faith actors are crucial stakeholders:
We are faith actors, living and practicing our beliefs in every part of the world.
...
We are rooted in local communities and already provide spiritual, practical, and psychological support to displaced people, vulnerable communities, and to millions affected by calamities. - Statement, Faith for Earth Dialogue at UNEA 5.2
