G20 Interfaith Forum meets in Abu Dhabi to discuss climate change issue

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The G20 Interfaith Forum Association, IF20, has concluded a two day meeting in the United Arab Emirates,  a month after the G20 met in Indonesia.

As “Religion Media Center” reported the Forum has been going since 2014, a gathering of world religious leaders considering the agenda of the G20 and offering wisdom from religious traditions.

Usually it is held to coincide with the G20, but this year another religious organization was set up called the R20, Religion Forum, which was held at the same time instead, so the IF20 shifted it meeting back and met in a different country.

The IF20 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, was jointly hosted with the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities.

Around 100 delegates discussed world issues such as climate change, food supply, refugees, racism and conflict.

It stated its intention to meet in 2023 when the G20 moves to the presidency of India.
