Sovereign debt stands as a major obstacle to climate action, delaying urgent progress. This session examines how debt exacerbates the climate crisis and explores the teachings of various faiths on debt relief. Drawing from these traditions, participants will seek common ground to advocate for global solutions that address both financial injustice and environmental challenges.
