• Overview

Due to travel restrictions imposed by COVID 19, this year’s in-person Annual Forum and General Assembly Meeting (GAM) of the International Partnership on Religion and sustainable Development (PaRD) originally scheduled to be held in Cape Town - South Africa has been postponed to 2021. Nevertheless, PaRD will facilitate a virtual Annual Forum and GAM 2020 from September 3-4, 2020. The virtual forum will focus not only on ongoing collaborations and partnerships with local Faith Actors (LFAs) but also on existing gaps and challenges in partnerships, including those relating to the current response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Back-to-back with the general assembly meeting, the Work-stream on Water, Environment and Climate Action (WECARE), of which UNEP is a co-chair, will facilitate a capacity building webinar on 1 September. The webinar on Religious Communities and Ecological Sustainability on Southern Africa aims to connect PaRD members and external religious leaders interested in ecological sustainability. This capacity building workshop will be facilitated by the Humboldt University of Berlin.
