Facilitating a global interfaith response to the pollution & waste crisis
Considering the potential of faith actors at all levels in driving social transformative change and changes in consumption and production patterns, the Interfaith Working Group on Pollution serves four main objectives, namely to:

- Advocate for ambitious policies by participating in negotiations with Member States and other stakeholder groups.
