Background

Eco-Faith Working Group

The Eco-Faith Working Group, with UNEP Faith for Earth Coalition’s Youth Council, convene a dedicated group of children and youth representatives from various faith backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability within the Children and Youth Major Group to UNEP (CYMG).

This collective recognizes the pivotal role that faith communities play in promoting environmental justice and harmony with the planet. Members of the working group are driven by a vision to mobilize faith leaders, organizations, and individuals to take collective action for a more sustainable world under the Action Plan.
