This one is gathering all the religious leaders to emphasise their crucial role
The Year of Sustainability is almost at a close, culminating in the highly anticipated COP28 this November. With the first Global Stocktake looming large, the UAE is hurtling full steam ahead.
And now, Abu Dhabi has announced a global summit for religious leaders to take place ahead of the event.
To be held from 6-7 November, the event aims to emphasise the crucial role of faith leaders in helping address climate change. It will be organised by the Muslim Council of Elders (MCE) in collaboration with the COP28 Presidency, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Catholic Church.

Also in attendance will be environmental experts and academics, to focus on the collaboration between faith and science to bridge the gap between empirical evidence and spiritual teachings.
The summit will discuss strategies for amplifying the voices of religious leaders to enhance climate justice and highlight ways to engage grassroots communities in achieving sustainable development.
Furthermore, during COP28, the MCE and the UNEP, in collaboration with the COP28 Presidency, will co-host the Faith Pavilion, which will be the first pavilion of its kind.
