dc.descriptionThis report outlines the Interfaith Women Council, a faith-based initiative that mobilises women leaders and organisations to address interconnected environmental challenges through inclusive governance, advocacy, and community engagement. It situates the initiative within broader efforts to respond to climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, emphasising gender-responsive approaches and the role of women as active agents of change. The document describes guiding principles, institutional strategies, and policy engagement activities, alongside examples of past initiatives, partnerships, and capacity-building efforts. It also presents mechanisms for collaboration, including global platforms and observances, while highlighting the contribution of faith actors in advancing environmental action and strengthening resilience across diverse communities and regions.en
