dc.descriptionThis document examines how faith-based perspectives and religious organisations are increasingly involved in global environmental stewardship and policy, highlighting the unique moral, spiritual and communal values they bring to sustainability efforts. Using examples from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism and indigenous peoples' beliefs, it shows how faith teachings and religious leaders are mobilising millions of people to advocate for ecological protection, ethical consumption and climate action. The document details collaborations such as UN Environment's partnerships, the Alliance of Religions and Conservation and the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative, highlighting the trust and influence that faith-based organisations have in education, finance, health and grassroots mobilisation. It also identifies key challenges such as fostering inclusive collaborations and addressing sensitive issues, and it recommends policy actions to leverage faith-based networks for broader public engagement.en
