11th Annual Symposium on the Role of Religion and Faith-Based Organizations in International Affairs (2025) “The Future is Upon Us: What Now? Amplifying the Role of Faith and Civil Society Actors in Multilateral Solutions”

Faith-based partners initiated the Annual Symposium on the Role of Religion and Faith-based Organizations in International Affairs as an annual event aiming to foster dialogue on the intricate interplay between religion and international affairs. Since 2016, the founding faith-based organizations established a strong partnership with the UN Interagency Task Force (IATF) on Religion and Sustainable Development, creating an annual policy dialogue involving UN entities, member states, faith-based actors, and civil society to address pressing global challenges. The themes of previous Annual Symposia have included human dignity and human rights, preventing atrocity crimes and violent extremism, just and sustainable peace, migration and displacement, gender equality, human security, sustainable development, and economic justice.
