Religions for Peace and Partners Organise COP27 Side Event: “Realizing Ambition through Ethical, Intergenerational and Multisectoral Responses to Climate Crises”

During COP27, on 9 November, Religions for Peace, The Bahá’í International Community, the Anglican Communion, and Tzu Chi organised a side event entitled “Realizing Ambition through Ethical, Intergenerational and Multisectoral Responses to Climate Crises.”

This event features remarks from Professor Azza Karam, Secretary General of Religions for Peace, who spoke about how “The question is not whether religions should be engaged, the question is how? There are two important things to keep in mind: this meeting is important, the other forty faith based meeting [during COP27] are important; what’s even more important is how these religious actors can come together to invest in each other’s ability to do effective programmes and initiatives.”

H.E. Mr. Bakoa Kaltongga, Vanuatu, Special Envoy on Climate Change said that “without centralising our actions around the human values and the harmonising between science and religions, our actions will only lead to unsustainable and destructive developments.”

H.E. Judge Mohamed Abdelsalam, Senior Representative of His Eminence Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Elders, Co-President, Religions for Peace, spoke about how “all heavenly religions, including Islam, have affirmed through the speeches of religious figures around the world, that it is necessary to protect the Earth, our common home, and to maintain its harmony and balance.”
