Engaging Faith Actors to Support the Implementation Process of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Engaging Faith Actors to Support the Implementation Process of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 2030 Agenda explicitly recognizes that peaceful and inclusive societies are both outcomes and enablers of sustainable development. Religious leaders from around the world have signed statements in favour of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as peace, reconciliation, climate justice and environmental protection. It is widely recognized that religious leaders, faith-based organizations (FBOs) and local faith actors (LFAs) can play a significant role in advancing the Sustainable Development Agenda. However, there is still a need to recognize the importance of greater engagement of religious leaders, FBOs, LFAs and CSOs to work closely with national and international stakeholders to ensure that the implementation of SDGs is inclusive and participatory.
