Baku, November 5, AZERTAC
“Azerbaijan’s hosting of Baku Global Summit of Religious Leaders is a pivotal event. We have taken important steps towards mitigating the negative consequences of climate change by leveraging the role of religious leaders. This is also an indicator of the high level of interfaith dialogue,” said Mohamed Abdelsalam, the Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Elders as he addressed the Global Baku Summit of Religious Leaders under the slogan “World Religions for a Green Planet” as part of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29).
“We appreciate the importance of interfaith dialogue. We have established a platform to amplify our voices by benefiting from our joint efforts. Organizing such global summits stands as a testament to our words and joint actions. Since there is a direct connection between the environment and religions, initiatives are being put forward to address global threats. We cannot be satisfied with our international commitments today. Joint actions are crucial for the future of our planet,” he said.
