Building on the historic momentum of the Faith Pavilion at COP21, where Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar united in calling for climate action, the COP29 Faith Pavilion will once again bring faith communities together. This session will highlight non-economic losses—such as cultural, spiritual, and communal impacts of climate change—and showcase faith-led solutions to protect both people and the planet.
