The world’s religions are making forest protection and restoration a priority strategy in addressing climate change. Through the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative (IRI), senior religious leaders are rallying their communities to act, educating their communities to become advocates for forest protection and restoration, and calling on governments and the private sector to adopt policies that protect forests and the rights of indigenous peoples. The event will feature innovations from IRI country programs in Brazil, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia and Peru on their work in five countries that contain 70% of the world’s remaining rainforests.
