Interfaith Climate Action Consolidation Workshop: From Dialogue to Collaborative Action

The climate crisis requires the engagement of diverse social actors, including religious communities that hold strong moral legitimacy and extensive networks reaching grassroots communities. As the culmination of a series of six Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted from March to May 2026, AYANA convened the Interfaith Climate Action Consolidation Workshop on 10 June 2026, bringing together religious communities to consolidate good practices, challenges, and recommendations for faith-based climate action into a more concrete, measurable, and sustainable shared agenda.

The workshop highlighted the significant potential of an interfaith movement to address low levels of climate literacy, strengthen the implementation of eco-theological values, and connect environmental initiatives that have remained fragmented and sporadic. With strong theological foundations, high levels of public trust in religious leaders, supportive national policies, and a growing range of faith-based environmental initiatives, this consolidation marked an important step towards transforming fragmented ecological efforts into an organised, inclusive, and sustainable interfaith collective movement.
