The \"Changing The Future: Religion Science Consortium\" session, co-hosted by Faith for Earth, the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, and the World Resources Institute, emphasizes the vital need to bridge the knowledge gap between environmental science and religion. The consortium aims to combine insights from religious scholars, scientists, and environmentalists to provide evidence linking faith teachings with environmental stewardship. Recognizing that international policies are grounded in scientific findings, such as those from the IPCC and IPBES, the consortium believes that religion offers another essential lens through which to understand and address environmental challenges. This interplay between science and faith is critical to understanding broader issues, such as food justice, which intertwines scientific advancements in food production with the cultural and religious significance of food. The ultimate goal of these discussions is not only to harmonize the dialogue between faith and science but also to inspire actions that benefit both humanity and the planet.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) launched the Faith for Earth Coalition in November 2017. The goal of Faith for Earth is to strategically engage with faith-based organizations and partner with them to collectively achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and fulfill the objectives of the 2030 Agenda.

Faith for Earth has three main goals: to inspire and empower faith organizations and their leaders to advocate for protecting the environment, to green faith-based organizations’ investments and assets to support the implementation of SDGs, and to provide them with knowledge and networks to enable their leaders to effectively communicate with decision-makers and the public.
