8 a.m. (New York) | 2 p.m. (Rome)
The three briefings support the inclusion of faith communities and faith-based organizations in the UN’s preparation processes, including the regional preparatory meetings and Voluntary Progress Reports shared by countries as well as other efforts made towards the key recommendations and calls in the Interfaith statement.

The online briefings are open to all via Zoom.

 This dialogue convenes women-led grassroots organizations from the MENA Women's Coalition from different faiths and communities to address how regenerative and faith-inspired solutions can build climate resilience and adaptation. Focusing on the challenges of food security and climate change, the discussion highlights the lived experiences of women of faith leaders. Outcomes from this dialogue will inform the development of sustainable food systems pathways and provide key insights to Member States.
