In this special edition of Power with Rufat Hamzayev, we sit down with Miguel Ángel Moratinos, High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, during the Global Summit of Religious Leaders in Baku.
Held under the theme World Religions for a Green Planet, the summit highlights how spiritual leaders can shape climate action through influence rather than enforcement.
Mr. Moratinos shares how Azerbaijan’s leadership in hosting COP29 reflects the power of moral authority in global diplomacy. He explains why soft power, ethical values, and spiritual guidance are now essential to solving the climate crisis. From grassroots faith communities to global interfaith cooperation, Moratinos argues that real progress begins not with politics, but with conscience.
