UNEA will be held from 28 February to 2 March 2022, the theme of which is “Strengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals”. UNEA is open to civil society organisations that are accredited and upon registration.
Faith for Earth, in collaboration with a diverse group of faith organisations and leaders will be organising 25+ online dialogue sessions during the period 21 February – 4 March 2022.
The purpose of the Faith for Earth Dialogue is two-fold namely: to uplift evidence-based good practices by faith, indigenous and local actors for the advancement of environmental action, at all levels; and promote cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder engagement with the presenting organisations.
The Faith for Earth 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 organisations.
