Nearly 30 leaders from various faiths and traditional religions gathered to discuss the intersection of religion, climate change, and peace
The Third Global Summit of Religious Leaders, themed "World Religions for a Green Planet," concluded in Baku on Wednesday. Held alongside the 29th session of the United Nations COP29 Climate Conference, the summit was initiated by President Ilham Aliyev and co-organized by Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Committee on Work with Religious Institutions, the Muslim Council of Elders, the Caucasus Muslims Office, and the United Nations Environment Programme.
Over two days, nearly 30 leaders from various faiths and traditional religions, along with officials from major religious centers - including representatives from the Vatican and Al-Azhar - gathered to discuss the intersection of religion, climate change, and peace.
During the summit’s second day, moderated by Ravan Hasanov, Executive Director of the Baku International Multiculturalism Center, speakers voiced concerns over issues such as religious and ethnic violence, environmental destruction, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
The event concluded with the adoption of the Baku Declaration, a unified appeal from religious leaders to COP29 participants, calling for joint action on environmental preservation and global peace.
