BEARING IN MIND the cultural and spiritual significance of faith-based organisations found in many people’s daily lives;

CONSIDERING the opportunity to share and spread sustainable living practices through interactions between faith leaders and people of faith and their communities;

NOTING existing relationships between traditional, local and cultural knowledge in natural-resource conservation, whether it be through sacred texts or in practice;

DEVELOPING information sessions, capacity-building programmes, interface dialogues and other methods for correlating aspects of spirituality, religion and culture with sustainable living practices;

RECOGNISING efforts being made by different groups, thinkers and social activists, concerning environmentally-friendly practices; and

HIGHLIGHTING the emergence of organisations which could address the root causes of climate change through religious traditions, leaders and institutions;
