Organised by Stop Ecocide International

14:00 at the Faith Pavilion

Both Laudato Si’ and Al-Mizan: A Covenant for the Earth establish a comprehensive framework for ecological and moral responsibility, urging collective action for the protection of our planet and offering ideas and pledges for resolving the triple planetary crisis and, especially, the destruction of nature.

A dialogue between the two faiths about profound shared values has the potential to shift global consciousness and foster a powerful protection for the Earth. Ecocide Law would provide the necessary legal support for the task of transforming humanity’s relationship with nature from harm to harmony.

Speakers

Alirío Cáceres, permanent deacon of the archdiocese of Bogota and a member of Plataforma de Ecoespiritualidad, representing Laudato Si’ movement

Kamran Shezad, Director of the Islamic Foundation for Ecology & Environmental Sciences and part of the drafting team of Al-Mizan charter
