Preventing, Halting and Reversing Degradation of Ecosystems Worldwide 

World Environment Day 2021 is coupled with the launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), highlighting a global need for the preservation and restoration of the worlds ecosystems.

The UNEP India Office and Faith for Earth Coordinator for India will host the Faith for Earth Councillor Recognition & Pledge Ceremony (Online) on 3 June 10:30 am  IST // 8 am EAT to launch a series of Action Plans co-created with the Councillors. The Action Plans focus on:

Climate Action

Efficient Resource Management

Biodiversity

In 2020, UNEP India launched its Faith for Earth Strategy & Action Plan on World Environment Day. It was the first country to adopt a structured approach for collaboration with Faith-based Organisations.

UNEP Faith for Earth Initiative in collaboration with UNEP India and the United Religions Initiative (URI) designed a series of workshops for ‘Faith leaders’ – religious and social leaders- as part of the ‘Faith for Earth Councillors Programme’. Using the train-the-trainer model, Faith for Earth Councillors will be the point of contact for their FBOs and will be encouraged to grow grassroots environmental action in their communities to fight the climate crisis.

In 2021-2022, the Councillors will implement the action plans to strengthen interfaith and intrafaith action for greater environmental stewardship.
