This session will introduce a methodology for engaging faith communities more effectively in climate discussions. Drawing from research in the MENA region and Indonesia, it will also explore how religious narratives can reshape international climate diplomacy. Participants will learn how to incorporate scripture-based reasoning to build trust and foster productive engagement between policymakers and grassroots faith communities, emphasizing the need for greater religious literacy in climate discourse.
