The Interfaith Liaison Committee, is organising a webinar series of Talanoa Dialogues and invites all interested individuals and interfaith organisations to attend and co-develop the Interfaith Talanoa Call to Action towards COP30.
Don’t hesitate to join this opportunity to make your voice heard, and to share this invitation with others.
Faith communities bring concrete experiences of the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable people, including women and girls in all their diversity and people on the move, who have done the least to cause climate change and are facing the brunt of its impacts. Faith groups are on the front lines, responding to climate change through mitigation, disaster risk reduction, adaptation, and more.
Talanoa dialogues are indigenous peoples from Fiji’s way of solving problems in their communities, and the Fijian Presidency of COP23 introduced the concept to work on the most challenging issues. The methodology of the Talanoa dialogue leads participants to address the following questions:
- Where are we?
- Where do we want to go?
- How do we get there?
This event will introduce an opening panel that will expose the different topics available for conversation, followed by small-group Talanoa dialogues where participants will be able to exchange perspectives and thoughts. This will be followed by an interfaith spiritual service and a light shared meal for those attending in person.
The series will culminate on 7 May with the launch of the Talanoa Interfaith Call to Action, a document representing a unified moral stance from diverse faith traditions ahead of COP30. All webinars will include Spanish interpretation to ensure broader global participation.
