It is imperative that faith voices are heard, their perspectives are considered, and their important contributions are recognized at policy making bodies such as the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA). As a result, Faith for Earth will be organizing 25 online dialogue sessions during the period 21 February – 4 March 2022. The Dialogue is open to all stakeholders, demonstrating the power and potential of faith-based organisations and faith leaders in shaping the discussions at UNEA as well as engaging in policy dialogue with other stakeholders including governments, major groups, cities, businesses and other civil society organizations.

The theme of UNEA 5 is “Strengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals”.
