Cop28 Jonathan Neril and his friends of faith in the UAE
Interfaith climate action took center stage at COP28, the UN climate conference held in Dubai, UAE. The inaugural Faith Pavilion showcased 65 sessions with 325 speakers, including notable figures like Pope Francis, Sadhguru, and Chief Rabbi David Rosen. This gathering aimed to inspire urgent climate action and amplify the voices of faith communities in addressing the climate crisis.
Drawing inspiration from the biblical call to protect the Earth, faith leaders and communities at COP28 issued a Call to Action emphasizing the values of justice, interconnectedness, and compassion. Their goal was to push for more ambitious climate agreements and highlight the essential role of spirituality in the global climate movement. The Faith Pavilion, situated at the heart of the conference, served as a vital hub for advocacy and dialogue, signaling the significant leadership of religion in addressing climate change.
