Baku: The Muslim Council of Elders is set to organise the second Faith Pavilion at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP29), scheduled to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22. This significant event will gather world leaders, officials, and representatives from various international organisations. According to Emirates News Agency, the second Faith Pavilion builds upon the success of its inaugural edition at COP28, which was held in the UAE last year. This year's Pavilion will feature a global alliance of 97 organisations, representing 11 different religions and denominations. It aims to provide religious and ethical perspectives on climate action through over 40 discussion sessions focused on integrating spirituality and ethics in advancing climate action. Under the leadership of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, the Muslim Council of Elders has been at the forefront of initiatives that seek to enhance the role of religious leader s in tackling global challenges, notably climate change. Last year, the Council hosted the Global Faith Leaders Summit for Climate in Abu Dhabi, which resulted in the 'Call of Conscience: Abu Dhabi Joint Statement for Climate'. This statement was co-signed by 30 religious leaders worldwide, including the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar and Pope Francis. Additionally, the Council recently co-hosted the Global Religious Leaders Summit for Climate in Baku. This effort is part of its ongoing mission to mobilise religious and ethical voices in devising effective solutions to climate issues. Through the Faith Pavilion at COP28 and COP29, the Council emphasizes the critical role of interfaith collaboration in addressing global environmental challenges.
