At the Intersection of Interreligious Engagement, Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) & Sustainable Development

 

Religion is politically ambivalent: it can be part of the problem, as well as part of the solution to the global problems the world is facing. In the spirit of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the international community has finally started to recognise the positive impact of religion on sustainable development and fostering peaceful and inclusive societies. Religious and interreligious actors, however, are still rarely welcome at the leading global policy tables. How can these new innovative secular-religious partnerships between governments and interreligious dynamics be reinforced and rendered more impactful?
