Faith For Our Planet (FFOP) is a not-for-profit organization best known for its work against climate change.[1] It has been called an organization that "brings together civil society leaders to find solutions to climate change",[2] and "a global interfaith coalition that challenges the world's faithful to incorporate climate science into sermons and religious teachings".[3]
FFOP was founded by Muslim World League Secretary-General Dr Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Issa and focuses on 11, 13 and 17 of Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.[4][5] FFOP's founder has been calling for enhancing religion's role in climate action and greater collaboration between scientists and religious leaders for management of the climate crisis.
Partnerships edit
FFOP has collaborated with various organizations to call for faith leadership's greater role in combating climate change. It worked with UNEP's Faith for Earth Initiative and Duke University to conduct Youth Interfaith Leaders Fellowship on Climate Change at Duke Divinity School.[6][7]
It has also partnered with Iqbal International Institute of Research and Dialogue of IIUI, National Incubation Centre and the Rural Support Programmes Network (RSPN), EcoSikh, The Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers, YELI, the Thembekile Mandela Foundation and the Commonwealth African Initiative, ISKON, Lincoln Theological Institute, and City of Westminster, International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD), Sajida Foundation, and Dhaka University.[8][9][10]
Training Workshops edit
Faith For Our Planet has arranged a series of workshops to promote collaboration between faith leaders, scientists and community leaders. The first was held in Islamabad in June 2022,[8][11] followed by a second training workshop in London in November 2022 held at Westminster City Council in collaboration with the Lord Mayor of Westminster.
FFOP also conducted a climate training workshop in The Gambia in December 2022.[12] The event was attended by delegates from over eight African countries, 12 Gambian tribes, and numerous religious leaders .[10] In July 2023, FFOP and Bangladesh's Sajida Foundation conducted another training workshop in Dhaka to discuss Bangladesh's challenges with climate change and sustainable practices.
Fellowship edit
In January 2023, FFOP and Duke University arranged a week-long Youth Interfaith Leaders Fellowship on Climate Change at Duke Divinity School. EU Today called it the "world's first global Youth Interfaith Fellowship on climate change", while Brussels Morning termed it "one of the world's biggest steps forward in youth climate advocacy".[6][7]
The fellowship included lectures, interactive sessions, policy dialogue, and vocational training by various climate and interfaith experts, including Dr Norman Wirzba, Professor of Christian Theology at Duke Divinity School.[13]
Accolades edit
Dr Iyad Abumoghli, Founder and Director of the United Nations Environment Program's Faith for Earth Initiative said, "Faith For Our Planet has similar objectives to the Faith For Earth initiative, focusing on bringing non-traditional communities, such as faith actors, to contribute to global efforts in fighting climate change".[6]
In a Newsweek article, writer and animal rights activist Cyril Christo said Faith For Our Planet "is leveraging active and strong global faith networks to revolutionize climate action from the ground up".[13]
The Toronto Star called Faith For Our Planet's training workshop in Pakistan "a landmark interfaith climate coalition which convened climate scientists and religious leaders to discuss the gendered effects of the climate crisis".[14] Comment Central called FFOP a "one-of-a-kind climate interfaith NGO".[15]
