Around the world, religious and faith-based groups are sparking action to protect and restore forests in the fight against climate change. With support from the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative (IRI), senior religious leaders are rallying their communities to act, educating a new generation of forest advocates, and calling on governments and the private sector to strengthen commitments towards the protection of forests and Indigenous rights. This 90-minute session showcases innovations from IRI country programs in Brazil, Colombia and Peru, and explores how interfaith partnerships can advance existing efforts to protect and restore the Amazon.
